The Last Journey

Thirty-six years after the war, a silly prank brings a curse of an iron club, and a mother's words come true by the sea. Krishna leaves the world beneath a forest tree, and his golden city sinks beneath the waves. The Pandavas, old now, set out for the gates of heaven, followed by a little dog. And at last, a king's great-grandson hears the whole story, and it begins to be told again.
