After seeing the unmatched strength and skills of the Brahmanas, the kings grew suspicious and slowly withdrew from the battle.
The battle eventually came to an end, and the disguised Pandavas were ready to leave the swayamvara hall.
The Pandavas, along with Draupadi, returned to the potter’s house where they had been staying in disguise with their mother, Kunti, in Kampilya.
Soon, they arrived at the potter’s house and happily called out to their mother, telling her to see what alms they had brought home.
Kunti assumed it was their usual daily alms and, not knowing that the alms they mentioned was a princess, she answered casually out of habit, “Share equally among yourselves whatever you have brought.”
When Kunti came outside and saw Draupadi standing before her, she realised what she had said unknowingly had placed her in deep trouble because her words could not easily be ignored. The Pandavas and Draupadi stood frozen and silent, uncertain about what should be done next.
