The impertinent demon Narakasura had stolen his mother's earrings! Lord Krishna, always helpful, agreed to confront the enemy. But seated on Garuda, his trusty eagle, and accompanied by the gentle Satyabhama, would Krishna be able to overcome Narakasura's formidable defences?

Soon he realised that, if young Raman was around, it was best to expect the unexpected. This village bumpkin was no fool, even the fiery goddess Kali had given in to his wiles. Wheedling his way into the mighty Vijayanagara court, it was but a short step into the heart of King Krishnadeva Raya, who welcomed a laugh or two to lighten his busy day." -- Call no.: PN6790 .I54A5no.523 EXPAND RECORD ----------------------------------------------------- "Indra and Shibi : Tales of the Wise Lord of Heaven" / artworks: H. S. Chavan & Dilip Kadam. 32 p. in Amar Chitra Katha, no. 524 (1978, 1997 printing). -- (Epics & Mythology) -- Summary from back cover: "It is little wonder that Indra was the lord of all gods: he displayed the true characteristics of a perfect leader. It was his diligence and eye for detail that ensured that only the virtuous were given god-like status. Arrogance and impatience were soon corrected. But, most importantly, as a leader, Lord Indra strove to be worthy of his position." -- Subtitle, series and summary from 2010 printing. -- Call no.: PN6790 .I54A5no.524 EXPAND RECORD ----------------------------------------------------- "Tales of Arjuna : the Exploits of an Exceptional Warrior" / script: Lopamudra ; artworks, C.M. Vitankar. 31 p. in Amar Chitra Katha, no. 525 (1979, 1998 printing). -- (Epics & Mythology) -- Summary from back cover: "Superbly skilled, speedy and strong, Arjuna boasted that he was the world's greatest warrior. But, despite his unquestionable courage, this honourable Pandava prince realised he could not confront Lord Indra's power, or even the wiles of a cheeky monkey, without help. He needed divine weapons, such as the Gandiva bow, with its inexhaustible supply of arrows, and a special war chariot. Most importantly, he needed the blessings of the gods, especially Lord Vishnu." -- Contents: "Arjuna, the Monkey and the Boy" p. 1-8 ; "Arjuna Defeats Indra" p. 8-22 ; "Arjuna Humbled" p. 23-31 -- Subtitle, series and summary from 2010 printing. -- Call no.: PN6790 .I54A5no.525 EXPAND RECORD ----------------------------------------------------- "Mahiravana : a Magician Outwitted" / script, Meera Ugra ; illustrations, Ram Waeerkar ; editor, Anant Pai. 31 p. in Amar Chitra Katha, no. 526 (1988, 2010 printing). -- (Epics & Mythology) -- Summary from back cover: "When his rakshasa army was destroyed in the battle against Rama, the prince of Ayodhya, Ravana, the Lord of Lanka, called for his son Mahiravana, a powerful magician. Would he succeed in killing the noble Rama and Lakshmana? Not while Hanuman was around, for this faithful friend had a trick or two of his own. The Bengali 'Krittivasas Ramayana' written by poet Krittivasa in the 15th century describes how Hanuman manages to get around the wily sorcerer's schemes." -- Call no.: PN6790 .I54A5no.526 EXPAND RECORD ----------------------------------------------------- "Bheema and Hanuman : the Sons of Vayu, the Wind God" / script, Lopamudra ; artworks, M.

Both are the sons of Vayu, the wind god. Hanuman lived in the Tretayug serving Sri Rama while Bheema, a contemporary of Krishna, lived in the Dwaparyug. The Mahabharata narrates the story of an encounter between the two mighty brothers." -- Script credit to Kamala Chandrakant in 2010 printing. -- Subtitle, series and summary from 2010 printing. -- Call no.: PN6790 .I54A5no.527 EXPAND RECORD ----------------------------------------------------- "Kumbhakarna : the Sleeping Giant" / script, Subba Rao & Nandini Das ; artworks, Ram Waeerkar. 30 p. in Amar Chitra Katha, no. 528 (1980, 1998 printing). -- (Mythology & Epics) -- Summary from back cover: "The only way Kumbhakarna could be kept out of mischief was to make him sleep twenty-four hours a day! Nothing would rouse this hulking ogre, not the trumpeting and trampling of elephants, not the deafening din of drums, and certainly not a rain of rocks. But when the aroma of fresh cooking wafted across his nose, he was up in a trice! However, that mightiest of warriors, Rama of Ayodhya, was lying in wait." -- Subtitle, series and summary from 2009 printing. -- Call no.: PN6790 .I54A5no.528 EXPAND RECORD ----------------------------------------------------- "Karttikeya : a Son of Shiva" / script: Pradip Bhattacharya & Meera Ugra ; artworks: C.

Lavangia. 32 p. in Amar Chitra Katha, no. 12 (Mar. 1970) ; reprinted in Amar Chitra Katha, no. 530 (1992). -- (Indian Classics) -- Summary from back cover: "When King Dushyanta first saw Shakuntala, he was struck by her incomparable beauty and gentle character. He made her his wife and vowed to take her back to his palace. But a curse from the sage Durvasa erased her memory so completely from his mind that he failed to recognise her. Much later, when the curse was broken he realised his mistake but it was too late, or so it seemed to be. The story of Shakuntala first appeared in the Mahabharata. It was later adapted into a play by the Sanskrit dramatist and poet, Kalidasa." -- Subtitle, series and summary from 2010 printing of no. 530. -- Call no.: PN6790 .I54A5no.12.

Although born to princess Kunti and the sun god Surya, he grew up as the son of a humble charioteer. His talent and ambition, however, would not allow him to languish in anonymity. The Kaurava prince, Duryodhana, recognised his ability at archery and made him king of Anga. For this, Karna remained loyal to him till the end. He met an untimely end at the hands of his brother Arjuna in the Mahabharata War." -- Subtitle, series and summary from 2010 printing. -- Call no.: PN6790 .I54A5no.531 EXPAND RECORD ----------------------------------------------------- "Sudama : the Power of True Friendship" / retold by Kamala Chandrakant ; artwork: Prabhkar Khanolkar. 32 p. in Amar Chitra Katha, no. 532 (1972, 1997 printing). -- (Epics & Mythology) -- Begins: "Sudama was a poor brahman boy. He was a close friend of Krishna." -- Summary from back cover: "Sudama's gift was small and inexpensive, but Krishna found it priceless as it came with selfless love. Krishna, who had both wealth and fame at his command, received it with pure joy. Life had taken the two friends on different paths, and Sudama was now painfully poor. Their affection overcame all differences, however. A simple meal became equal to a luxurious feast, and magically turned a poor hut into a mansion of gold." -- Subtitle, series and summary from 2010 printing. -- Call no.: PN6790 .I54A5no.532 EXPAND RECORD ----------------------------------------------------- "Abhimanyu : Star-Crossed Prince" / retold by Kamala Chandrakant ; artwork, Pratap Mulick. 32 p. in Amar Chitra Katha, no. 533 (1992). -- (Epics & Mythology) -- Introduction (1992 printing) begins: "Abhimanyu, like a shooting star, illuminates the horizon of the Mahabharata epic for a few moments and vanishes in trails of glory." -- Summary from back cover: The Kauravas had made a fateful error. Lusting after their cousins' kingdom, they underestimated young Abhimanyu's determination and ability to defend it. Brilliantly distilled in this handsome and much-loved Pandava prince were his father Arjuna's courage, Lord Krishna's wisdom, and the patience, strength and gentle humility of his uncles. Even as he thwarted his enemies' ambitions, Abhimanyu earned their grudging admiration and a very special place in the saga of the Mahabharata." -- Subtitle, series and summary from 2010 printing. -- Call no.: PN6790 .I54A5no.533 EXPAND RECORD ----------------------------------------------------- "Bheeshma : Selflessness Personified" / retold by Kamala Chandrakant ; artwork: L.D. Pednekar. 32 p. in Amar Chitra Katha, no. 534 (1992). -- (Epics & Mythology) -- Summary from back cover: "Son of the beautiful goddess Ganga, the giver of life, the lad was born to greatness. Not only was he handsome and wise, he was also equally adept on the battlefield or in regal court. As this tale reveals, Bheeshma is best remembered for his exceptional honesty and kindness. Who else would have uncomplainingly suffered the trials of kingship without its comforts? Who else would have chosen long years of loneliness just to pander to a father's whim?" -- Subtitle, series and summary from 2010 printing. -- Call no.: PN6790 .I54A5no.534 EXPAND RECORD; CORRECT SPELLING; DELETE AT "Beeshma" ----------------------------------------------------- "Mirabai : She Gave Her Heart to Krishna" / script, Kamala Chandrakant ; illustrations, Yusuf Lien ; editor, Anant Pai. 32 p. in Amar Chitra Katha, no. 535 (1972, 2010 printing). -- (Visionaries) -- Summary from back cover: "She was only a child of five and he a mere image of the Lord Krishna, but little Mira loved him with all her heart. So strong was her devotion that it rendered even irate kings and murderous relatives powerless. Mirabai became a queen, but she continued to serenade her lord through the ups and downs of her eventful life. Her hymns to Krishna, which are sung to this day, left even the great Mughal emperor, Akbar, spellbound." -- Call no.: PN6790 .I54A5no.535 EXPAND RECORD ----------------------------------------------------- "Ashoka : the Warrior Who Spoke of Peace" / script, Meena Talim ; illustrations, Ram Waeerkar ; editor, Anant Pai. 32 p. in Amar Chitra Katha, no. 536 (1973, 2010 printing). -- (Bravehearts) -- Summary from back cover: "A power-hungry warrior and a peace-loving wife, could they ever tread together on the path of non-violence? Ashoka waged war after ruthless war, yet by the time his children grew up, he proudly saw them off as Buddhist missionaries. Read about the charmed life of this famous king of Magadha, who not only built a prosperous kingdom but spread the message of universal love." -- Call no.: PN6790 .I54A5no.536 EXPAND RECORD ----------------------------------------------------- "Prahlad : a Tale of Devotion from the Bhagawat Purana" / script, Kamala Chandrakant ; illustrations, Souren Roy ; editor, Anant Pai. 32 p. in Amar Chitra Katha, no. 537 (1973, 2010 printing). -- (Epics & Mythology) -- Summary from back cover: "Prahlad drove his monstrous father to a murderous rage. He insisted on praising Lord Vishnu who was considered a sworn enemy by his father Hiranyakashipu. When he tried to punish his disobedient son, Hiranyakashipu's potent poisons turned to nectar while his lethal weapons fell harmlessly away. In this tale of bloodthirsty revenge, Prahlad's only defence is his devotion which dramatically puts an end to all evil." -- Call no.: PN6790 .I54A5no.537 EXPAND RECORD ----------------------------------------------------- "The Churning of the Ocean : Vishnu Saves Creation" / script, Toni Patel ; illustrations, Dilip Kadam ; editor, Anant Pai. 29 p. in Amar Chitra Katha, no. 538 (1999, 2010 printing). -- (Epics & Mythology) -- Summary from back cover: "The three worlds of the universe were reeling from shock: the asuras had taken control! Even the plants were withering away. Only the great Lord Vishnu could make things right again. He got both devas and asuras to churn up life-giving nectar from the ocean of milk, and then ensured that the asuras were kept away fro this gift of immortality." -- Call no.: PN6790 .I54A5no.538 EXPAND RECORD ----------------------------------------------------- "Rani of Jhansi : the Flame of Freedom" / script, Mala Singh ; illustrations, Hema Joshi ; editor, Anant Pai. 32 p. in Amar Chitra Katha, no. 539 (1974, 2010 printing). -- (Bravehearts) -- Summary from back cover: "She ruled over a small kingdom, but dreamt of freedom for the whole country. In the Great Revolt of 1857, Lakshmibai, the Rani of Jhansi, matched wits and force with the best of British generals. The image of the brave Rani of Jhansi charging her steed through enemy lines, her sword raised for the next thrust, is forever imprinted in Indian hearts." -- Call no.: PN6790 .I54A5no.539 EXPAND RECORD ----------------------------------------------------- "The Jackal and the Wardrum : Panchatantra Stories of Courage and Curiosity" / script, G.L. Chandiramani ; illustrations, Jeffrey Fowler ; editor, Anant Pai. 32 p. in Amar Chitra Katha, no. 540 (1973, 2010 printing). -- (Fables & Humour) -- Summary from back cover: "A hungry jackal finds food when he overcomes fear.
