We get to meet Bhima! (my storybook topic). 

We learn about the journey of Arjuna and Krishna and the battle where many animals perished

Krishna and Shishupala must engage in combat and Krishna wins

A gambling match (dice game) leads to Bhima to say, "Hear my vow! May I never reach Heaven or meet my ancestors hereafter if, for these deeds of sin, I do not break the knee of Duryodhana in battle, and drink the blood of Duhshasana!"

There is a first ad second match, we learn about origins of the Swastika as people yell "Swashti!"
