Gandivdhari Arjun-The Warrior Prince

PANDAVAS MARRIAGE

Back in the forest...

"Brother Yudisthir, how long can we hide in this forest in the form of Brahmans? I'm fed up. I feel like going and killing that Duryodhan for what he did to all of us."

"Don't lose your anger Bheem. I know what Duryodhan did is bad. But who are we to punish him? He will one day surely have to repay for what he has done to all of us."

At night they are sitting with a group of sages for dinner and are having a serious conversation.
" haven't you heard of this news that tomorrow in drupad's kingdom his daughter's wedding ceremony will take place. It is said that his daughter Draupadi was born from fire. If you Brahmans go there you will get a lots of alms."

Arjun decides in his mind that he should go to the wedding ceremony with his brothers and he should marry Draupadi.

in the morning...

"Mata, we five brothers will go to the wedding ceremony and collect some alms and come."

In drupad's kingdom...

"This is a challenge for all the Kings present here. With the bow kept there, you must look at the reflection of the fish's eye in the water below and aim at the real fish which is just above. The one who completes this will get to marry my daughter Draupadi."

One by one all the Kings tried to do what the king told. But not even one could even lift and string the bow.
Actually,Drupad wanted Arjun to marry Draupadi. So he had kept a challenge which only Arjun could complete. But other than Arjun even karna's could do this challenge. This feared drupad. And also he had lost all his hopes in this marriage because according to him the Pandavas are dead.
Even Draupadi wanted to marry Arjun. So when karna actually lifted and stringed the bow,she knew he could complete the challenge. So without any other way she rejected karna by telling that he is not a Kshatriya.

Then something happened which angered and surprised all the Kings present there.
One of the Brahman among the group of Brahmans came forward and said,"oh king,I know I'm not a Kshatriya but still may I have a chance to participate in this wedding ceremony? "
All the Kings started screaming. But drupad allowed the Brahman.
To everybody's surprise the Brahman had completed the challenge. Drupad and Draupadi came to know that it's Arjun. So the king allowed the Brahman to marry his daughter.
This was an insult to the Kings present there. So they all started quarrelling and started to say that they will kill Draupadi.
But later Arjun and Bheem, still in their Brahman form, fought all the Kings.
Finally,Draupadi was married to Arjun.
All his brothers were congratulating Arjun.
Just then Bheem and Arjun thought of a plan. They thought of telling their mother that they have bought a large amount of alms.(actually alms was referred to Draupadi). Their mother would be very happy.
So they took Draupadi with them and did what they had planned.
But unfortunately without even seeing what it is Kunti told them to share the alms amongst all the five brothers. They were in a state of shock and guilt.
They never disagreed to their mother, but now they are also unable to follow what their mother told.
When they were thinking what to do about this now, three sages and Vyasa arrived. They learnt about the matter carefully.
Later they said," your sons shouldn't disagree your words mother kunti,but there is nothing wrong in what you said. You should have atleast seen what they have bought before you give them any instructions."

"Please forgive me Guruji. I know I'm wrong,but what do I do now? Please help me to find a solution to this problem."

"O kunti, your problem can now be solved only by Panchaali. But I can tell you one thing that she has to agree with what you said. She has to marry all your five sons. You hear the reason for her own mouth."

" mother in law,I'm very hurt by this incident. But it all happened because of me only and I accept it. I feel proud to marry all your sons. I'll tell you the reason behind this incident. In my previous birth I had asked Lord Shiva that I wanted a husband who is a great Archer, beautiful,intelligent, strong,etc. But then Lord Shiva told that all these qualities can't be present in a single person. So as a result, in this life I have got all the qualities in five different person."

Just then Lord Krishna arrived and said that what Draupadi said was absolutely correct.
So Kunti and Draupadi closed the situation by compromising.

"It's okay Panchaali, you and me haven't committed any mistakes. I promise you that all my sons will treat you very nicely. I hope they don't dissappoint you nor you dissappoint them in any ways. Soubhagyavati bhava! Putrvati bhava!"
