I am happy to announce the publication of the last of the As It Rhymes and War diagrams available on Amazon. These are -
A Mahabharata War Guide: 18-Day Battle Dioramas
Tentpole Three: Mahabharata As It Rhymes
Along with the other two tentpoles (one and two), these four manuscripts complete rhyming translation of the core epic.
Both new manuscripts will soon be available for Kindle. The Diorama print has a heavy price tag as a print version because it’s a large print size and has many graphics. The Kindle version will be more affordably priced like a cup of capochino’ed coffee.

This slope plot of the declining forces as men over the 18-day war did not make the original posts here. However, plotted as a linear decline over 18 days I was astonished to find a 62-38 split in favor of the Pandavas when comparing their slopes as a ratio in a clean unit of approx. 100K at 18 days. This ratio shows up shows up throughout the text starting with the 11-7 advantage in armies the Kaurava hold at the beginning, and the battle wins and losses counted as part of the mathematica. Just thought this was interesting and attributable to both a masterful construction and supports historical interpretation.
Arjuna and Bhima are 3 standard deviations from the average epic hero.
