- The Pandavas eagerly awaited for Arjuna to return
- He comes in from the sky in glorious fashion
- He floats down on a chariot manned by thousands of horses
- He tells his comrades of his travels
- He talks of his new weapons and how he is now master of them
- I also liked how he talks of his training and what he had to endure
- I think the inclusion of his narration is really cool
- It adds another level to the story
- It is cool to see a recount of the events through Arjuna's persepective
- The details of the attack are awesome
- He describes his counter attack and how he fired volleys of arrows in return
- This is in reference to his battle with demons as he cut off their arms
- I also noticed the reaction of his comrades
- They think so highly of Arjuna
- He has accomplished incredible feats on the field of battle
- He now rivals their most respected mentor
- The ending of the story added an interesting twist
- The weapons could not be summoned for mere entertainment
- They must only be used in battle
- The consequence is the destruction of the three worlds
