Reading Diary A Week 12

I found Nala and Damayanti to be very interesting in this part of the book.

  • Nala was king of the Nishada people
  • Damayanti was the daughter of king Vidarbha 
  • Nala was very in love with Damayanti
  • A swan caused Damayanti to fall in love with Nala by telling her how wonderful he is
  • Nala was on the way to meet Damayanti and ran into some gods
  • The gods names were Indra, Agni, Varuna, and Yama 
  • All of them wanted Damayanti 
  •  Indra sent Nala to explain to Damayanti that she needed to choose a god for her husband  
  • The gods all disguised themselves as Nala
  • Somehow, Damayanti was still able to identify him
  • The evil spirit Kali also wanted Damayanti
  • He vowed to ruin their happiness and take Nali
