Excerpt from Tales of the Pandaus A Word of explanation is due to the Reader of the following "Tales of the Pandaus." They have no claim whatever to be considered exact reproductions of Hindu fable, as they have in fact little or no foundation in legend or chronicle. The main thread of each is purely imaginary; though a certain veri-similitude to recorded quasi-historical legend has been observed throughout the work. The heroes of the Mahâbarat, selected as representative champions in the following "Tales of the Pandaus," are: - (1) Yudishtira - called also Dharm-raja, the "Just" King - he was Lord of Indra-prastha (ancient Delhi). His name is derived from the Sanskrit word Yudhi, "battle," and sthira, "firm," = unflinching in the fight. He was eldest and perhaps the most interesting character of the five heroic brethen. (2) Bhim-sen or Bhima, the "Strong" one. He was commander-in-chief of the Pandau armies. (3) Arjuna, the "Valiant" - Lord of the Sounding Bow - a most interesting character. The friend and ally of Krishna. (4) Nakoola, the "Wise" one; sometimes called Nizkoola. (5) Sahadeva or Sediva, the "Handsome" man. The five brethren are sometimes represented as types of the abstract qualities for which they were respectively distinguished. The five stories are reproduced in the order in which they were written: one of them only (Sediva) has previously appeared in print.
