8. Kunti and Her Son
This story is about the origin of the character named Karna, who is the son of Kunti and the god of the sun, Surya. Kunti gave birth to Karna before she was with Kind Pandu. I like this story because it is an interesting origin story and I liked how Karna was empowered with special earrings and armor that protected him. Another thing about this story that stood out to me was a similarity to the story of Moses from the Bible with both being placed in a basket as a baby and sent down a river to be found.

12. Pandavas and Kauravas
This story is about the brothers Pandavas and the borhters Kauravas and their upbringing. In it is described how they grew up together and learned skills and trained. I like this story because it shows the change of the sons of Pandu from boys to young men. I like how, as they arrived back at Hastinapura, they are described as godly beings with the bearings of lions.

13. Bhima and the Nagas
This story is about how Bhima had an attempt on his life but the turn of events ended up producing completely different results. Bhima came in contact with the Nagas who ended up offering him the chance to gain a special strength. He obliged and drank a special draught which imbued him with strength of giants. I like this story because like in the Ramayana, justice always seems to find a way. When Duryodhana tried to kill Bhima, Bhima actually grew more powerful!
