Reading Notes: Mahabharata Part D

Moses destroying the 10 Commandements
when he discovers the sins of the Hebrews.

The story of Krishna's death reminds me of the story of Moses, when he goes up on Mount Sinai and returns to find the Hebrews drunk and sacrificing to idols.

Krishna tells the people to not drink wine, and yet they get drunk. When Krishna removes himself from them, that is when he is shot He tried to avoid the result of what the omens were predicting, but he was unable to avoid his fate.

This section of the story is kind of all over the place, and there is a lack of connections between events. Or at least the connection and flow of the story is not evident. For example, where did the horrible woman with yellow teeth come from and where did she go? Why did they then go feast on the seashore after they have been robbed? I would like to explore the horrible woman's story and understand how she plays into the big picture.
