*The Pandavas have entered their long period of exile in the forest. Similar to Rama, they encounter many sages who tell them stories and teach them lessons.
*Krishna pays and encouraging visit to the Pandva brothers. Bhima and Draupadi are upset and rebuke Yudhishthira harshly.
*Arjuna at this time goes on more personal adventures. This time it is to receive weapons that the Pandava brothers will inevitably use when they face the wretched brothers of Duryodhana again. While Arjuna is the son of Indra, Shiva is also an important piece of his life.
*Arjuna goes to Swarga, the heavenly home of Indra (his father). He meets Urvashi and there are many consequences. Indra praises his son for overcoming such dangers as demons, giants and monsters.
*The Pandavas begin to travel to Himalayas, missing Arjuna, who eventually rejoins them.
*Bhima and Hanuman are half brothers- both sons of Vayu, the wind god. They have an encounter and leave with a pleasant embrace of one another.
*Duryodhana is very jealous of the Pandavas and embarrasses himself in their presence. Karna, loyal to Duryodhana, vows to kill Arjuna after the Pandavas return from exile.
*Indra, the father of Arjuna, strips Karna of his celestial armor and earrings out of concern for his son. Karna, however, keeps the arrow of death (unknown to anyone).
*Duryodhana and his brothers attack King Virata and his son Prince Uttara, but the Pandavas come to their rescue. Due to Indra's son having a celestial war shell, the Kauravas lay down as if dead or asleep.
*After the exile is finally over, Krishna attempts to make peace with the Kauravas (to no avail) by appearing in his divine form of Vishnu.
*When given the choice between an entire army and Krishna alone, Arjuna gladly accepts his army of one.
*Krishna tells Karna the secret of his birth, and that he is a Pandava. He is urged to join his new brothers not only in peace, but as their elder.
*As the battle begins, Bhishma is the general of the Kauravas, but is not as loyal to Duryodhana as Karna. He warns them of their pending doom.
