43. Arjuna & Shiva
Source. Myths of the Hindus and Buddhists by Sister Nivedita (1914)

The lines " And the sages related unto them many tales of men and women who suffered and made self-sacrifices, undergoing long exiles and performing penances so as to attain to great wisdom and win favor from the gods." I would love to write a rhyme where the god tells them how silly it was for them to do those things. For example, the gods being confused by the idea of fasting may be amusing.

This story is very generic. It is not very interesting.

52. Bhima & Kichaka
Source. The Indian Heroes by C. A. Kincaid (1921).

Source. Indian Myth and Legend by Donald A. Mackenzie (1913)
