I found the part where Bhima carried his whole family on his body was very interesting. The bald baby that Bhima and Hidimbi had that was named Ghatotkacha for "pot-headed" made me chuckle. Baka devouring the men sounds like it could be an interesting component to add to my story. I really enjoyed the story of how Prince Arjuna saved the cursed water nymphs. The story of how Agni came to feed his hunger was fun to read. I liked the idea of how his hunger was subdued by the forest since he was the god of fire. It was an interesting surprise. my favorite part of this section was the part where the soul of Sishupala ended up being drawn to Krishna and therefore entered his body. I like this because it allowed for him to continue to live on but in another form. When Bhima drank his own blood, it definitely caused a fright for me. it was a great, while not to great, way of grabbing the people's attention.
