- Pandavas are the sons of Pandu, Kunti and Madri
- There are five sons and they are all married to Draupadi
- The Pandavas build their own city called the Indraprastha
- Duryodhana the eldest of the Kauravas, the hundred sons of blind king Dhritarashtra and Queen Gandhari
- Hates the Pandavas because they are the rightful heirs to the throne and because they have built this magnificent city
- The games they play in the part 2 of the readings remind me of the games played in
- 1st dice game: Yudhishthira loses all of his possessions his brothers and his wife Draupadi- they get it back with the help of a god
- 2 dice game: They Pandavas lose and must spend 13 years in exile: twelve years in poverty, followed by one year in disguise. Yudhishthira loses, and the Pandavas go into exile
- Surya, the Sun God, who gives Yudhishthira a copper bowl with an endless supply of food
- This is like magic, in the Great Hall feasts that the students attend
