During a part of their exile, the Pandavas chase a deer deep
into the depths of a forest. Once in the forest, Yudhishthira sends his
brothers, one after the other, to get water for them at the lake. For some
reason, none of them return and Yudhishthira grows to become very worried. When
he arrives at the lake, he finds the dead bodies of his brothers. An unknown
voice speaks to him and tells him that he must answer all of the questions if
he wants his brothers to return alive. Yudhishthira answers all the questions
and then learns that this is a test given to him by his father Dharma who is a
divine being. Yama revives the dead Pandava brothers.
I found this scene to be very interesting because it seems
super intense. I wonder what was going through Yudhishthira’s mind when he
realized that his brothers had died. If it were me, I would feel so bad because
it would've been my fault that they died. Yudhishthira was the one who sent his
own brothers to fetch the water instead of going himself.
I’m also glad that Arjuna decides to choose having Krishna
on his side during the battle over Krishna’s humongous army. Duryodhana is ecstatic
when he learns that he will be getting Krishna’s army because it is the best
army in the world. I would've made the same decision if I were in Arjuna’s
position because Krishna is such a strong character. He’d easily win the war!
