the mb has 18 chapters. first i summarize books two and three. why? kuz book ones existing summary is very good but i want to improve the existing summary of books two and three contained in section 2 inside book one of mahabharata.
how dare i claim to improve the "internal" religious summary? kuz i am not hindu and i see room for improvement.
2 my summary of mhbrta
books 2,3 from 18 and shorter ones 15-18
book 2 fills 157 pages and book 3 of mb fills 614 pages together almost 800 pages. who has time to read so much? so i provide a summary so people can KNOW the contents without reading every page and even find a story that sounds good by name to search and read the story.
note although the veda is the most ancient in hindu and the root of the religion still considering it is hymns of praise to the provide gods ergo not first summary kuz not a story. later if i live long i will summarise the provide god named and if they are described.
famous stories named mahabharata, ramayana, the former contains gita which is significant kuz ideas from a hindu god.
i start by summarizing m'.
note the number 18, based on the "18 days" battle with 18 groups of war-beasts
similarly the gita is 18 chapters and the book mhb 18 books, same number.

the second book of mahabharta is named sabha. its 78 sections tell the story at the assembaly. the title "sabha" meaning assembly [they assembled in the story and at the gathering dur' felt envy.] arjuna established a grand hall. the preparation for a scarifice. jaras' destroyed, the rescue of the trapd princes, the sons of pandu conquer much land in every direction. sisup' destroyed, bhimasena ridiculed duryo' who could laugh it off but was angry and jealous of the wealth and success of the pandava brothers [sons of pandu]. dur' prepare a dice gamble to get the kingdom. a son of pandu named yud' gambles and lost his throne. king dhrit, pa of dur' comforted his dauter in law. yud' and his brothers exiled for 13 years. this summarises the main events in the 78 sections in sabha parva. next third book,
b3
third book aran' meaning forest, has 269 sections [my translation has has 313 sections] that tell: pandavas, meaning sons of pandu, went to forest exiled from kingdom, as above lost throne gambling, a lesson not to gamble kuz might lose throne, this bad action is a sin must clean sin by reading mahabharata. not lose joy if warrior fyts battles or scholar study and teach or craftman makes products of industry etc. for doing purpose and obeying gita not to feel pain in distressing time liberated from physical body and go to joy if did his purpose known based on parents of birth. a benefit in this system is family teacher but see below.
the citizens escorted them from city. yud' earned power to produce food for scolarly wizards, granted by the "sun god god of day".
king dhrit' expelled vidura who joined pandava. dh' sent that vid' should return so vid' returned. dur' plans with karna to kil pandavas in forest. the author vyasa named krishna of isle, convinced dur' not to go to woods. mait' came n cursed dur'. bhima slew kir' in battle. the panchala came with yadu, to yud' then drama of emotions. sauva fell. kr' led a lady n her son to dwaraka. pandava enter the dwaita forest. the author visited them til they went to another forest.
arj' battled hunter, and celestials gave arj' weapons. drama emotions. yud' learnd the secret of dice. lomasa visited pandava from hevn who informed them arjuna was above searjjing for weapons. pandava went to sacred places earning merit. nar' went to a certain shrine. indra took karna's ear-rings a sage ate vatapi, one asura [a powerful human hosting a celestial see below]. a wedding.
rama son of jam' saw death of kart' . pandavas met yadus. chy' [born from puloma, book 1] gave divine aswins the soma juice [fermented from a plant]. 23, they granted chy' youth. somaka killed "his only son"?
then sired many sons. a sacrifice, vandi's defeat. a wizard freed a man from the sea depths. pandavas traveled til staying in place narayana. bhim' went met hanuman [ape form]. the flowers destroyed when bhima bathed. he fout demon, and destroyed jata. pandava hid in another place. bhim' went up hill n fout demons, arj' returned with celestial weapons from the provider demi-gods. arj' defeated foes in battle. arj' started to show the weppins til narada stopd this. pandava move. a serpent grabd bhima til yud' answerd query.

pandava went to kamyaka forest. jayad' abducts draupadi, so bhima chased, and took his crown.
rama battled ravan [parallel tale to book ramayana] and slew ravan. the ear... um repeating? indra took karna's ear-rings exchanged weapon. pandavas got a boon and went west. next 4
book four virata
other project : 14 aswam 103 s. is other gruup
p. 30 book 15 asram' the 42 sections tell: king dhrit' left throne to forest with group including ma of arjuna named kunti and pritha. dhrit' saw the spirits of his slain sons. note: this reward for kuru warriors mentioned here refering to book 18, coulda been convincining arjuna to fyt, not spare kin family kuz will go to joy. still yud' response to seeing harmful dur' in plenty indicates would also be humanly diffiult to cause that joy, so either way not kill, so kr' wisely said "change body" for not truly killing so apt for ksatriya warrior. while other 3 and even warrior only in battle but not "harm any creature" rejecting root of hindu in veda cook horse and ramayana gods approve animal killing.
dhrit' enjoyed "highest fruit" of actions, maybe karma=result. vidura had "success" called "most meritorious state" as described in book 18. in contrast budha stopd rebirth as human and also stopd existing by joining light, join not seperate, so that goal is the "punishment of wicked to stop" in rambam. which is judgement? god judge does that to evil to end, ergo not for worthy and not a goal to do budha ideas to reach. anyway budha himself taught a time limit from 6th century bc or fifth 500 years so if obey teacher then "ended" already so obey and find next system, jesus era, and if say "budha wrong" then this guatama b. not good source.
sanjaya, the narrator to king dhrit', went to blessd state. nar' told yudh' the yadu=vrishnis died. next book 16 named maushala.
its 8 sections tell: a wise wizard cursed yadu heroes who drank til "inebriated" blocking reasoning killd each other while drunk. they saw krishna threw eraka grass that killed so they threw it too, killing each other kuz it killed the victims.
kr' died, his body containing god vishnu stopd living so v' returned to celestial realm. arjuna went to the yadu city felt sad for their death kuz not in city [violating first teaching from krishna in gita]. funeral burning corpses including krishna's corpse.
after warrior men died, arjuna left that city with women and young and old, and warrior age cripples of this race called yadu. men took the ladys and arjuna was too weak to protect them. his hands were weak. even celestial weapons including bow from agni faild. drama as arj' felt sad he could not save. he separated to be alone. next 17 book. the great "pras' " meaning journey.
its 3 sections tell: king arjuna with brothers left throne, 31
agni met by sea, so arj' returned to agni his celestial bow. yud traveled with brothers "linked to god" over mountains until they died except yud'. yud left corpses continuing journey. next last book 18 named svarga about celestal realm.
a celestial car came. yud wanted dog to escort him up. after arguing, the dog uncovered it was "god dharma" [of justice also named yama god of pain of dead, same one.]
the car flew yud, body alive, up to celestial realm. yud saw the harmful dur' enjoy and felt pain that evil had plenty joy. he asked to see arjuna. a guide led him to the place of pain from heat and thorns and bee venom, he heard arjuna there and agreed to stay so others would suffer less from god yama of dead and judge. then gods uncoverd the deception not truly arjuna, just place of sinners and pain. [arjuna feard this in gita, if not reborn go here. other faiths teach the truth that god knows and taut: no place of pain, the punishment is "prevenr enjoy" stop exist" one true detail in bad source rambam kuz god judge knows and MADE EFFORT sent me to reveal not to accept this nor similar wrong idea in book luke and revelation. nor to accept reborn second birth in another body but insted "after one death judged" one true detail in bad source book hebrews, not only after arjuna era but never were sent to other body birth nor place pain kuz god MADE EFFORT to send me to identify which details are true.
yud now washed away his human physical body in celestial river, went to place of plenty joy earned by battling as a warrior [as defined by his birth to pandu the king in warrior caste. as described in gita which, although logical not truly occur to mortals.]
there in celestial realm he lived in "joy" this ends the 18 etinth book.
end
ENDNOTE: 18 books same number as days of the pandava battle. so we summarized 4 books here until last etinth book that describe th idea after death if not reborn by earning "liberation" free from rebirth in contrast to budha claiming change to light and stop existing as a separate life hindu claims live separate with no physical body and this detail is true kuz judge made effort to send me to to tell you yes joy if and only if CAUSE JOY for other people. joy for joy. but those who inflict pain and ignore the baby pain in infant circumcision both the pain of cut same as any knife cut and the DAYS OF HEALING pain... such cruelty will not enjoy the joy for joy as the judge sent me to warn you. certainly lose joy.
