Draupadi Swayamvar - Mahabharat - Hindi
  • 8 years ago
The Pandavas reached the city of Kampilya. They stayed in the house of a potter and were daily going around for alms. They heard in the city about the preparation for the Swayamvar of Draupadi. A huge hall was erected for the purpose and all kings of far and near kingdom, had been invited. On the top of a pole one fish was made, which was constantly revolving. The pole was fixed in the centre of the hall. There was kept a vessel full of water. Watching the reflection of the fish with five arrows the eye of the fish had to be pierced. It was hoped that if Pandavas were alive then Arjuna would certainly come to this contest, as he was not one to let go off such a challenge. Everyone was eagerly waiting for the day.
On the day appointed all the kings who had assembled were seated with due honour on the thrones put in the hall. The stage where the bow was placed Dhristadhyumna came escorting his sister Draupadi. Draupadi, resplendent in the dress of a bride was holding the "Varmala" the garland to be worn by the winner by her hand. Draupadi,it was proclaimed by the heavens, was to be the cause of destruction of the Kshatriyas on the earth.
Sacred mantras were chanted by the brahmins and the ceremony started. Dhristadhyumna announced that, anyone piercing the eye of the fish with one of the five arrows, just by seeing the rotating fish, reflecting in the water kept in a vessel was to be declared the winner and Draupadi would put the Varmala around his neck. Everyone was eager to win her.
