These notes are from this playlist of Epified Mahabharata videos

  • What is the secret of her past?? Drama
  • She's adopted
  • Kunti was not scared of this sage-- 
    • He gives her a gift (the mantra) 
    • Let's her summon any god she wants
    • There comes the sun god!
    • Sweet!
    • Kunti gets a baby- a demi god??
    • Who is this baby? Why don't I remember these things lol
    • She floats the baby down the river!
  • Sons of Pandu/Pandu's curse
    • Where is the secret son?
    • Pandu want to spend some time in the forest
    • That's fun stuff
    • Tribes thinks they are gods 
    • He hunts in the woods-he shoots the deer
    • The hermit curses him--now Pandu will die if he makes love (I remember that one!)
    • He leaves the palace 
    • The blind king is happy, of course
    • Kunti helps Pandu! Now the Pandavas get to be born! Woo
  • Sons of Pandu (for real this time)
    • First she gets Yama- virtue son (Yidsiture? I can't spell the names lol)
    • God of the wind (this baby is awesome) Bhim?? Strong and courageous baby  
    • Indra (great warrior baby) archer baby! Ardjun?? Something like that
    • Kunti gives more babies to Pandu's other wives
    • Those are the twins
    • Pandu dies--Kunti leaves with Pandu's 5 sons
    • Those sons are awesome (the heroes of the story!)
  • One Hundred Sons
    • That's when this gets confusing-so many sons
    • She gets a large lump?? I don't remember this--what is the lump?
    • Why is she punished? 
    • Do the sons come out of the lump--that's kinda ewy 
    • So the babies come out of the vats! 
    • This sounds evil---is that why all of the sons evil (demonic)
    • The blind parents are the only ones that can love these evil/ugly sons
    • Now the rivalry begins!
  • Hate and Hurt
    • This is a new voice!
    • Haha one of the sons are annoying to the mean son of the blind thing
    • The Pandavas are cool- so the 100 sons group are jealous
    • I mean, I get it, but it's not worth it!
    • This one is moving so fast- this is where I get confused 
    • They need different colors for the two sides
    • Is this where they set fire to the palace?
    • No, he misses all the games :/
    • Does he kill this boy?? 
    • This evil son is gonna get his butt kicked
  •  The Magic Potion
    • So this boy is floating down/to the bottom of the river
      • scary
    • The serpents bite him
    • He wakes up, and fights the snakes!
    • Woo, cool stuff 
    • Now the snakes are on the run
    • He's still underwater? 
    • He's in a snake world--I do not remember this at all!
    • Now Bheema gets the magic potion (strength of 1000 elephants)
    • He gets strength, but now he can't be an innocent boy-Time to fight!
  • Drona
    • I think he's the most evil one? 
    • Bheem doesn't know what happened! He didn't get his revenge yet
    • Oh Wait, Drona is the trainer I think
    • The Pandavas get to show off and get even cooler
    • I love all of the foreshadowing in the Mahabharata- you know who's going to be evil, who's going to be the hero, etc.
  • Drona Trains the Pandavas 
    • We have the charioteer 
    • The sword guy
    • The mace!-Bheem
    • The archer-  discipline of the mind
    • Why don't the 100 sons get to train. Is it because they are evil or because they are untalented
  • Ekalavuya's Story
    • I think this is the revenge story between Drona/and the other king
    • Wait, now there is a dog...with arrows? 
    • That's not nice
    • Why is this guy shooting the dog?
    • Not a prince, but he's a talented archer
    • Oh, so Drona refused this guy
    • But he still wanted to practice!
    • This guy is so cool!
    • I'll write a story about this guy
    • Uhhh, why did he take this guy's thumb?
    • That's rude!
    • This is a story I can write! Justice for Ekalavuya!! 
    • This chapter also as the most comments out of all the other videos I've watched
