DRAUPADI'S MARRIAGE

This fame kept moving round and round. There was a basin of clear water at the foot of the pole. The image of the fish at the top could be seen in the water in the basin below.

The king said, "He who hits the fish with an arrow by looking at the image in the water below will have the right to marry my daughter."

Many princes tried and failed. Duryodhana, the Kuru Prince, also tried but with no success.

At that time the five Pandava Princes were living in a forest along with their mother. They had been driven out of Hastinapura by Duryodhana. They had to live in disguise.

They begged for food in the village and brought it home in the evening, and gave it to their mother Kunti. She cooked their meal and fed them.
