Panchal Raj Drupad. Who was defeated by Kuru princes in the war has taken a vow. To get a son like Arjuna and kill Dhronacharya completing his revenge for his insult. And to fulfill it he was now sitting and doing a yagna.

Not any but PutraKamishthi yagna. This yagna was going on for last four days without any break. The great Sages of the time Rishi Yaaj and Rishi Upyaaj with their penanace were performing the Putrakamishthi Yagna. And today was the day five, with Drupad his wife and his daughter Shikhandini venering the gods.

The atmosphere began to change when the chants began to go an octave up. The winds started to blow harder and fire of the sacrificial Yagna Kund began to cackle.

Rishi Yaaj : Drupad. The Gods are happy with your yagna. Now it is the time you do your last sacrifice and accept your Prasad that is your son.

Drupad was very happy.

Drupad : I want a son whose anger is like a sword which can destroy anything and everything in his way, A son whose Pride is unbreakable like an Armour. The Son whose strength and intelligence rival that of Arjuna.

                      So I ; Paanchal Naresh Drupad , sacrifice my Sword which is symbol of my son's anger, my Armour which is symbol of my son's pride and my Blood which will be in his veins in form of strength and intelligence.

Drupad completed. And he sacrificed the said things in the yagna.

And fire burnt brighter and a handsome man with pure white skin, sharp cheekbones, having sword and Armour of his father and his lotus like eyes predatory and sharp emerged out from the kund.

Rishi Yaaj : Drupad. Your son who has anger like sword, pride unbreakable as an Armour and strength and intelligence who will rival as of Arjuna, who will be courageous and brave will be therefore called as Dhrishtdhyuman.

And Drupad was overjoyed. He hugged his son who greeted him by touching his feet. And Shikhandini took her new brother to side smiling.

Drupad : Now we should end the yagna Rishivar.

But the fire began to cackle more.
