The Shining City

Out of a wild forest, the Pandavas build the most beautiful city on earth, with a magical hall where floors look like water and water looks like floors. Arjuna wanders the world and wins three brides. Bhima wrestles a king who was born in two halves. Krishna counts to one hundred. And Duryodhana falls into a pool, and hears laughter he will never forgive.
