This was an excellent book as it shows the birth of Nahusha and Ashokasundari. I was shocked to see that Hundasura wanted to eat a new born baby for his meal. It was good to see that the devacharanas sang praises of Nahusha otherwise he would have never known about his childhood. It also talks about the story of Ashokasundari, who was the youngest of Shiva and Parvati's three children. I was naturally angry to see the Brahmarishis pulling the palanquin but he invited the curse upon himself as misuse of any substance will lead to the person's downfall. It was good to see that Yudhishtira finally relieved him from the curse. Overall, this was an excellent book
