- 0:00Speaker 1: Book Ie Ostradshan the Tournament. The scene of the epic
- 0:10Speaker 1: is the ancient kingdom of the Curus, which flourished along
- 0:13Speaker 1: the upper course of the Ganges, and the historical fact
- 0:17Speaker 1: on which the epic is based is a great war
- 0:20Speaker 1: which took place between the Curus and the neighboring tribe
- 0:23Speaker 1: the Panchals, in the thirteenth or fourteenth century before Christ.
- 0:29Speaker 1: According to the epic, Pandu and Triturastra, who was born blind,
- 0:33Speaker 1: were brothers. Pandu died early, and Triturastri became king of
- 0:37Speaker 1: the Curus and brought up the five sons of Pandu
- 0:41Speaker 1: along with his hundred sons. Yudistir, the eldest son of Pandu,
- 0:47Speaker 1: was a man of truth and piety. Weim the second,
- 0:51Speaker 1: was a stalwart fighter and urgent. The Thirtsen distinguished himself
- 0:55Speaker 1: above all the other princes in arms. The two youngest brothers,
- 1:00Speaker 1: Nachol and Sahadeb, were twins. The Ludhan was the eldest
- 1:05Speaker 1: son of Teterastra and was jealous of his cousins, the
- 1:09Speaker 1: sons of Pandu. A tournament was held, and in the
- 1:13Speaker 1: course of the day, a warrior named Kern of unknown
- 1:17Speaker 1: origin appeared on the scene and proved himself a wardy
- 1:20Speaker 1: arrival of Urjin. The rivalry between Urgin and Kern is
- 1:24Speaker 1: the leading tod of the epic, as the rivalry between
- 1:27Speaker 1: Achilus and Haktor is the leading toad of the Iliad.
- 1:32Speaker 1: It is only necessary to add that the sons of
- 1:35Speaker 1: Pandu as well as Kern, were, like the heroes of Homer,
- 1:38Speaker 1: god born chiefs. Some God inspired the birth of each.
- 1:44Speaker 1: It is there was the son of Term or Virtue,
- 1:48Speaker 1: Viam of Vayu or Wind, Urgin of Indra or Rain God.
- 1:53Speaker 1: The twin youngest were the sons of the Ashen twins,
- 1:57Speaker 1: and Kern was the son of Surya the Sun, but
- 2:01Speaker 1: was believed by himself and by all others, to be
- 2:03Speaker 1: the son of a simple chariot driver. The portion translated
- 2:08Speaker 1: in this book forms sections one thirty four to one
- 2:11Speaker 1: thirty seven of Book one of the original Epic. In
