what our ancestors expended."<br />

Satyacharya observes, "I have heard enough. Better fortunes attend you."<br />

The general Samara Jambuka, the jackal of war, boasts that he can cleave<br />

a roll of butter with his falchion. He trembles from top to toe at the<br />

approach of a mosquito.<br />

The king orders vice to be proclaimed virtue by beat of drum. All the<br />

Brahmans are perpetually banished.<br />

PRACHANDA PANDAVA<br />

OR<br />

<strong>THE</strong> OFFENDED SONS OF PANDU<br />

OR<br />

BALA BHARATA.<br />

Draupadi is married to the five sons of Pandu, in compliance with the<br />

command of their mother. Yudhishthira, the eldest son of Pandu, loses<br />

every thing including Draupadi at chess-play with Duryodhana, the eldest<br />

of the Kauravas. Draupadi is now dragged by the hair, almost naked, into<br />

the public assembly, an insult in revenge for which ferocious Bhima vows<br />

to slay Duhsasana, the insulter, and drink his blood, and ultimately<br />

fulfils his vow. The Pandava princes then depart to the forest.<br />

PROBODHA CHANDRODAYA<br />

OR<br />

"RISE OF <strong>THE</strong> MOON OF (TRUE) KNOWLEDGE."<br />

Religion and the noble king Reason, accompanied by all the Virtues<br />

namely Faith, Volition, Opinion, Imagination, Contemplation, Devotion,<br />

Quietude, Friendship and others, are banished, from Benares, by the evil<br />

king Error who reigns at Benares, surrounded by his faithful adherents,<br />

the Follies and Vices namely Self-conceit, Hypocrisy, Love, Passion,<br />

Anger, Avarice and others. There is, however, a prophecy that Reason<br />

will some day be re-united with Revelation; the fruit of the union will<br />

be True Knowledge, that will destroy the reign of Error.<br />
