So as we discussed before, now Pandavas and Kunti were living in a small village named Ekchakra.
One day a brahmin from Panchal Kingdom of King Drupada, visits them & informs about Swayamvara of DRAUPADI.
As far as Pandavas knew that king Drupada had no daughter. Brahmin explains that her birth is quite a secret.
Brahmin didn't know that he was talking with Pandavas.
Drupada always wanted a powerful son to take a revenge from Dronacharya.
So he requested sages to offer him something so that he gets a powerful son.
His wife & Drupada chanted mantras around fire near Yamuna river & they got rewarded by a powerful son named Dhrishtadyumna.
It was prophesized that Dhrishtadyumna will destroy Drona.
After this a beautiful woman with dark complexion came out from The fire, named Krishna. As she was the daughter of the Draupada, she was named as DRAUPADI.
It was prophesized that Draupadi will be the cause of the end of KAURAVAS.
Hearing about the beauty of Draupadi, all Pandavas get excited about her Swayamvara.
Kunti and Pandava decide to move to Panchal, Vyasa also permits them so.
They arrive in capital of Panchal Campalia, with the Pandavas priest Dhaumya.
Swayamvara day arrives. With many princes from all over, Pandavas also attends it.
KRISHNA was also their as a guest.
Draupadi arrives in the hall. seeing her unparallel beauty & intoxicating fragrance, every male in the hall gets mad for her. They starts shouting, "You are mine Draupadi".
In between this, Krishna noticed 5 handsome brothers sitting in clothes of sages with long beard.
Next moment he recognises them that, they are Pandavas.
He Drew Balrama's attention & whispered in his ear. Look there, they are Pandvas!
To win Draupadi in Swayamvara there was extremely difficult test for all the princes.
You have to hit fish's eye through a hole in rotating disc around it. But you can't look directly, you can look only into its reflection in water.🤯
Duryodhana tries but fails.

She says, "Sorry, I don't want to marry a charioteer's son". Karna leaves humiliated.
