In Dwarka ,
After the marriage of Abhimanyu and Uttara, all returned to Dwarka. Yudhisthir suggested to hold a maha sabha with some of the powerful kings of Aryavart.

Krishna nodded in agreement and Vasudev sent a letter to all the powerful kingdoms of Aryavart.

Those kingdoms were ; Dwarka, Magadha, Hastinapur, Panchal, Saurashtra, Mathura, Bhalika, Ayodhya, Shivi, Kashi, Manipur, Gandhar, Chedi, Matsya, Vidarbha and Videha.

In Magadha ,
The esteemed royal court was under way with the same people that were assigned by Sanvika.

Maharaj - Karna
Maharani - Vrushali
Yuvraj - Vrishsena
Kulguru - Vishwamitra
Senapati - Jarasandh
Mahamahim - Shon
Mahamantri - Shivank
Royal priest - Ved Vyasa
Royal Vaidya - Devdutt
Royal Ambassador - Tarun
Education minister - Eklavya
Agricultural minister - Bhaskar
Welfare minister - Vishwagupt
Kingdom affair's - Shatrunjay
Trade minister - Harshvardhan
Women's right - Radha
Brahmin clan - Ved Vyasa
Vaishya clan - Vikram
Suta clan - Adhirath

They were discussing weather or not to help the kaunteya's.

Karna- I will hear everyone and in the maha sabha I will take a stand accordingly.
Vyasa- Betting your wife for greed is not right, but trying to disrobe a women is also wrong. Alas it was the karma of yagyaseni that has caused her humiliation and also the karma of her husbands have dawned upon her.

All nodded by the words spoken by Ved Vyasa that's when Vrishsena said.

Vrish- Mahamuni is right Pitashree, if Bheem wouldn't have disrobed the sister of Trigant naresh, none of this would happen. If Yudhishthir wouldn't have betted his wife for the greed of gaining a kingdom this wouldn't have happened.

It was at that time Brahmarishi got up and said.

Vish- Putra Karna, do you really think those would can't protect the honour of a women can protect innocent's? Bhishma the son of Ganga, Vidur the son of Ved Vyasa, Yudhishthir the son of Yama, Bheem the son of pavan and Arjun the son of Indra all failed to raise their weapons to protect the honour of a women.
The kaunteya's married other women but they made them stay in their maternal kingdom to keep a vow given to Draupadi. They can make their other wives suffer by raising their respective kids as single mothers just for their vow, but they can break the vow given to Draupadi while takes phera's around the holy fire.

All felt the gravity of the words spoken by Brahmarishi Vishwamitra but that's when Bhaskar, the agricultural minister said.

Bhaskar- But Brahmarishi, disrobing a women is not right at all. That to Draupadi who is a fire born and the former princess of Panchal.
Radha- That's the thing mantri Bhaskar, fire born and a princess. Arya and I lived in many kingdoms from Kashi to Odra, this is the most minimalist pain she could suffer.
Adhi- Yes mantrivar, small girls are sold to men twice or thrice their age for their pleasure, women are forced by the royal soldier's, they don't even leave small girls. You haven't heard about the torcher because most of you'll were born under the reign of Devi Sanvika, but Radha and I have seen it all.
Radha- If a women doesn't work she is blamed to live of her husbands money and if she works, she is blamed of having an affair with other men. If a man touch's a women, the man is entitled to do that but a women is allowing him to do that.
Adhi- Maharaj, in conclusion I would ask you to think about how Trigant naresh stopped the heinous act that was done by panduputra Bheem to his sister.
Radha- Not to forget, The sister of Trigant Naresh drowned herself in the river Ganga because of the humiliation.
