Week 9: Reading Diary Pt. B

I just love how the beginning of this warns about sharing Draupadi as a wife. That should be a clear no-no. I get that it's more of polygamy, but I just still think of it in an incest way (but only really in the story; Sister Wives is a different story). Ohhh, marrying a naga! That's exciting! And then the sister of Krishna. Go hard or go home for this guy. I'm a really big fan of Agni. He's an awesome fire god, and he just brings back fond memories of Avatar the Last Airbender (one of my fave shows ever). Poor Draupadi gets gambled away. No true epics of India story exists where the wife is still there, I guess. Live among women as a eunuch! That's a horrible curse! Poor Arjuna.
