Week 13 Reading Diary B


Battle preparations are made. Drupada wants a child and prays to shiva about it. Shiva tells him the baby is a boy but it ends up being a girl. Her name is Sikhandini. Drupada was expecting a son so he treats his daughter as if she were a boy. He even arranged a marriage for Sikhandini, but the bride is appalled to find Sikhandini is a woman. She then goes to the forrest and finds a yaksha and asks it to make her into a man. The war begins. Bhisma kills Virata in battle. He also has awesome fighting powers even though he is old. Drona kills Drupada. Drona then thinks his son is dead and falls in despair when in reality an elephant with the same name is killed by Bhima.
