Week 9 Reading Diary B: Exile of Pandavas

Part B starts off with Duryodhana worried because he finds out the Pandavas are still alive. He invites them back and give them part of his kingdom. They build it into the city of Indraprastha. Duryodhana is extremely jealous but he warned not to do anything. Crystal Palace is built  to rival Indraprastha. Yudhishthira gambles away Draupadi. She refuses to come out but Duhshasana drags her out and she calls on Krishna for help. Once her robe is removed, her body is replaced with a different one. Yudhishthira loses again and this time him and the Pandavas are in exile for 13 years. Vyasa assures him that all of his enemies will be defeated in the future. This chapter ends with Arjuna meets up with the Pandavas five years later.
