Jayadratha

by Subba Rao

Jayadratha was a despicable man - vindictive, arrogant and selfish. In the Mahabharata battle, Jayadratha had shamelessly hidden himself away, for Arjuna had taken a terrible vow to put an end to his own life if he failed to kill the villain before sunset that day. With the wise Krishna by his side, would the mighty Arjuna fail to find his mark?

Info on boon granted is not included

Didn't include the boon granted to Jayadratha that whosoever will be responsible for his severed head to fall onto the ground will have his head burst into 100 pieces. Which has been cleverly manipulated by Krishna to be fallen by his own father, Vridhakshatra.

A piece of water in the ocean.
However the book comprised of the fall of Jayadratha but didn't clarify that the Pandavas in the exile didn't have to reveal themselves if they did, they again have to go for another exile.

Nice

As you sow, so you reap. A thrill a minute ride of a very, very small part of the Mahabharata.

As always, ACK mythology books serve as a great tool to refresh the knowledge of Hindu mythology. Since this involves war and violence, it's clearly more suitable for older kids, probably teenagers.
