As the title of the book suggests, the story revolves around Hastinapur, the Pandavas, Kauravas and Krishna. The banishment of the Pandavas by the Kauravas and their ‘deaths’, their travails in the forest, Draupadi’s swaymavara and the wining of Draupadi’s hand by Arjuna are included in this book.
The book begins with Dronacharya’s resolve to take revenge on King Drupad . As childhood friends Drupad had promised Drona that they would share each other’s fortune. When they grew up and Drupad became King, Drona went to redeem the pledge and was insulted by Drupad. The book goes on to tell how Drona groomed the Kuru princes, how he expected them to take revenge, how Krishna managed to stage Draupadi’s marriage and how he brought the Pandavas back to like. The book ends with Draupadi’s swayamvara.
