Bernard Adjodha ,

It's not the sun or moon or God or any such thing.

It is money that makes the world go round.

I have been listening to over the past few months.Yes, it is on Amazon Audiobooks.And, yes once you acquire it on your apps, you can call them and cancel your subscription.

Prior to cancelling you are allowed to acquire additional audiobooks. Anyways, the subscription is monthly and relatively affordable. Courtesy of Jeff Bezos, let's all help him (them) buy the world from us.

My only remark is that the reader seems to not have the ability to pronounce sanskrit words/names. It is a minor issue given the benefits of the convenience that make this available. I don't think it is an autoreader. This human reader didn't bother to try apparently. Again, I use it and am grateful for the technology.

I have listened to it. It is extraordinarily enlightening of human behavior and discusses the genealogy of the clans.

And ends it by saying, "now the reader will understand the essence of incarnation".

Some interesting and less heard of tales are:

Yayati's life sketch

Pandu's wives tacit battle to get better sons and power struggle

Karna's media image is broken (truth is ugly, when you read it)

Markendaya rishi speaking to Yudishtra

Dhriastra's character sketch (very raw and revealing)

Yudishtra's character is stunning and remarkable

The author did not polish many fine details, so it could be disturbing for culturally conditioned people.

I enjoyed and learned a lot about human characteristics.
