The Pandavas arrived at the gambling hall in Hastinapura. Draupadi went towards the women's area to greet Queen Kunti as well as the other royal women. Dhritarashtra asks what Yudhishthira thinks and he replies that the palace is beautiful. Yudhishthira already knew what was going on when he saw Duryodhana being joined by his uncle Shakuni. then asked Yudhishthira if he was ready for their gambling match. He replied that he was.

Prior to this, Duryodhana had become jealous of Yudhishthira and his amazing palace at which he made a fool out of himself by falling into a pool. He had plotted revenge with his uncle Shakuni and they decided to challenge Yudhishthira to a game of dice. Shakuni would play and beat him if all went according to plan. Yudhishthira had been warned about this plot by Bhima who said that the invitation was probably a trick.

They then played their dice game and Yudhishthira lost everything, including his wife.

Introduction to Jacob the Entrepreneur

My name is Jacob and I am a Sophomore majoring in Economics. I'm from the Texas Hill country (a place called Bulverde, just north of San Antonio) however I was born in El Paso.

Hanuman was having a largely peaceful afternoon surrounded by his fellow monkeys. Having just stopped his chaotic brother Vali from antagonizing Sugriva, he deserved it. Shortly after, Sugriva fetched Hanuman and told him that two strangers were approaching and that he should go check them out to make sure that they aren't coming to cause trouble. He then met Rama and Lakshma who said that they wanted to speak to Sugriva. Thrilled that they weren't dangerous or evil, he carried them on his shoulders to meet Sugriva. Rama and Sugriva agree to help each other and they go off to kill Vati. Later, Sugriva is crowned king of Kishkindha. It was now his turn to hold up his end of the deal. Sugriva gathered Hanuman and the monkeys and sectioned them off into groups. He sent the groups into the four directions to look for Sita and report back. Hanuman went to the south along with Angada, and Jambavan. Hanuman and the southern search party soon reached the beach. They were all very ups
