Week 9 Reading Diary B: Continuing the Mahabharata

-Duryodhana finds out that the Pandavas are not dead. Bhishma and Vidura want him to make peace, but Karna says that they are traitors. He wants war.
-Dhritarashtra gives the Pandavas part of the kindgom. They name the city Indraprastha.
-Arjuna goes into exile for 12 years.
-Yudhishthira is now the king of Indraprastha. The coronation occurs.
-Maya built the assembly hall at Indraprastha and the hall has many illusions. The Pandavas and Draupadi make fun of Duryodhana when he is fooled.
-Shakuni tells Duryodhana to get revenge by playing against the Pandavas in a game of dice. They go to Hastinapura.
-Yudhishthira loses everything he owns in the game. Then he loses his brothers and himself.
-The Pandavas head back to their city.
