Ash has jewel that protects him from thirst, hunger, poison, wild animals, etc.
Draupadi mourning death of brother and 5 sons, asks husbands to avenge them and take kingdoms
Krishna says she has less to mourn than Kunti and Gandharri
Draupadi demands Ash's life, then decides she just wants his jewel because it is precious to him
Bhima takes jewel
Yudhishthira's Horse:
Visa tells Yud to perform horse sacrifice to atone for sins
Horse allowed to wander for 1 year; Arjuna leads army that follows horse
Horse finds rock that is actually a cursed woman; Arjuna touches rock and breaks curse
Enters the land of "woman warriors", detained by queen, let go
Enters a pond and becomes a mare, enters another pond and becomes a lion
Arjuna killed in battle with rajah
His son fights nagas in underworld to claim jewel which brings dead back to life, restores Arjuna
Horse is sacrificed, Krishna tells Yud his fame will endure forever
The ghosts in the river:
Vyasa commons ghosts from Ganges River to help ease mourning of Yud and family
"it seemed as if the armies of the Pandavas and Kauravas were once again assembled for battle, for they swept over the river like a mighty tempest"
"All strife had ended between kinsmen and old-time rivals; in death there was peace and sweet companionship."
