So this story is so interesting. I was immediately drawn in with all the things happening since it's like they happen one after the other. Like how Vayasa's mother was born. The king's semen just fell into a river and a fish just ate it. Two kids just happened to pop out of a fish. I also noticed that these people take honor and birth seriously but there are people in the monarch that are not even of royal blood. Satyavti is only royal because she married the king. He son died and she brought Vayasa to father the next monarch. I wonder why no one is disputing it. And the fact that one of the wives was like, " no, I'm not sleeping with this guy again." and sends her maiden. Wouldn't she get punished for disobeying the queen mother? And that has to be a big hit to Vayasa's ego since he was so repulsive that his babies came out with some kind of defect. My favorite part by far that I found so funny was when King Pandu kills a deer and turns out to be a sage in the form of a deer. The sage isn't even made that he was killed. It was that he didn't get to finish having sex with his mate. He literally cursed Pandu because of it. My roommate and I both laughed so hard at this part.
