Only by His merciful strength was I able to vanquish all the lusty princes assembled at the palace of King Drupada for the selection of the bridegroom. With my bow and arrow I could pierce the fish target and thereby gain the hand of Draupad\u012b.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Draupad\u012b was the most beautiful daughter of King Drupada, and when she was a young girl almost all the princes desired her hand. But Drupada Mah\u0101r\u0101ja decided to hand over his daughter to Arjuna only and therefore contrived a peculiar way. There was a fish hanging on the inner roof of the house under the protection of a wheel. The condition was that out of the princely order, one must be able to pierce the fish\u2019s eyes through the wheel of protection, and no one would be allowed to look up at the target. On the ground there was a waterpot in which the target and wheel were reflected, and one had to fix his aim towards the target by looking at the trembling water in the pot. Mah\u0101r\u0101ja Drupada well knew that only Arjuna or alternately Kar\u1e47a could successfully carry out the plan. But still he wanted to hand his daughter to Arjuna. And in the assembly of the princely order, when Dh\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e6dadyumna, the brother of Draupad\u012b, introduced all the princes to his grown-up sister, Kar\u1e47a was also present in the game. But Draupad\u012b tactfully avoided Kar\u1e47a as the rival of Arjuna, and she expressed her desires through her brother Dh\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e6dadyumna that she was unable to accept anyone who was less than a k\u1e63atriya.<\/i> The vai\u015byas<\/i> and the \u015b\u016bdras<\/i> are less important than the k\u1e63atriyas.<\/i> Kar\u1e47a was known as the son of a carpenter, a \u015b\u016bdra.<\/i> So Draupad\u012b avoided Kar\u1e47a by this plea. When Arjuna, in the dress of a poor br\u0101hma\u1e47a,<\/i> pierced the difficult target, everyone was astonished, and all of them, especially Kar\u1e47a, offered a stiff fight to Arjuna, but as usual by the grace of Lord K\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47a he was able to emerge very successful in the princely fight and thus gain the valuable hand of K\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47\u0101, or Draupad\u012b. Arjuna was lamentingly remembering the incident in the absence of the Lord, by whose strength only he was so powerful.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
