THE BATTLE IN THE SWAYAMVARA

As Draupadi put the garland around Arjuna’s neck, the kings and princes became furious as they felt insulted because a Brahmana had won Draupadi.

They argued that Draupadi must not be wedded to a Brahmana and that the swayamvara had dishonoured them. The angry kings prepared to attack. Bhima stepped forward and uprooted a huge tree.

Soon, a fight broke out in the swayamvara hall. Arjuna and Bhima fiercely fought many warriors.

While everyone gathered in the assembly fought, Krishna remained calm and observed silently, knowing the truth about the Pandavas.

Karna fought the disguised Arjuna briefly and during the battle, he became suspicious as the Brahmana had extraordinary skills in archery. He wondered if this could truly be an ordinary Brahmana.

The extraordinary skills of the Brahmanas made many in the assembly suspicious and became the first hint that the Pandavas were still alive.
