Private Notes
Duryodhan is crowned as the new King of Hastinapur. He takes Bhishma and Gandhari's blessings. As the Pandavas arrive at Vyasa's ashram, Draupadi worries about her Swayamvar. Krishna advises her to seek answers from Lord Shiva.
The Pandavas take shelter in a potter's house. The potter informs them about Draupadi's Swayamvar. The Pandavas decide to help him by collecting mud for him. Arjun and Bheem visit the temple before digging. This is where Lord Shiva answers Draupadi's prayer by showing her a glimpse of Arjun.
While Bheem and Arjun return to the potter's house, the wheels of their cart get stuck in the mud. While taking out the wheel, Duryodhan comes face-to-face with Bheem. Will he recognise him? Later, Draupadi learns about the saint she saw in the temple.
Rukmi, Duryodhan, Karna and Shakuni arrive at the venue of Draupadi's Swayamvar. Dhrishtadyumna creates a fish in the sky. Drupad asks the invitees to target the eye of the fish while looking only at its reflection in the water. Shakuni suggests that Karna should win the competition for Duryodhan.
Drupad welcomes Krishna to Draupadi's Swayamvar. Krishna asks Karna not to support what is wrong. The invited kings fail to hit the target. Krishna informs Drupad and Draupadi that only Arjun and Karna can accomplish the task.
Dhrishtadyumna stops Karna from taking aim and tells him that he has to participate for himself, not for others. Karna tries to defend Duryodhan, but in vain. Duryodhan asks Karna to prove his capabilities and marry Draupadi. Just when Karna lifts the bow, Draupadi stops him and announces her decision.
As Draupadi stops Karna from participating in the competition, the Pandavas arrive at the Swayamvar. Krishna convinces Drupad to allow the Brahmins to participate in the competition. Drupad hesitates but later agrees. Which one of the Pandavas will take aim?
Drupad challenges the Brahmins to win the competition. Bheem asks Arjun to take aim. Arjun comes forward and succeeds in hitting the target. This is when Karna recognises Arjun and shouts his name.
Shakuni is shocked on seeing the Pandavas alive. Arjun and Draupadi exchange garlands. Shakuni provokes the kings by saying that it is an insult to them that a Brahmin has married a princess. As the couple leave the palace, Krishna gives five stones to Draupadi as a gift.
As Arjun, Draupadi and Bheem leave Panchal, Bhishma asks Vidur to bring the Pandavas back to Hastinapur. Later, Arjun returns home with Draupadi. Kunti assumes that her sons have returned with alms and orders that whatever they have got must be shared between the brothers.
Kunti passed her order without realising she was talking about Draupadi. She apologises to her and asks Arjun to ignore her previous order. But Arjun cannot. He requests Draupadi to marry his brothers. Will Draupadi agree?
Draupadi is disheartened with Arjun's decision. She remembers Krishna's advice and agrees to marry the Pandavas. Drupad gets furious with the Pandavas when he hears about this. Drupad decides to bring Draupadi back to Panchal.
Ved Vyas informs Kunti about the fear amongst the people of Hastinapur. On his insistence, she decides to return to Hastinapur and get Yudhishthir appointed as the king. Later, a furious Drupad instructs his army to attack the Pandavas when they come to his palace. Krishna reveals their true identity to Drupad.
Drupad is shocked on learning the true identities of the Brahmins. On Krishna's advice, Drupad welcomes them. Later, Draupadi shares her sorrows with Krishna. He comforts her by telling her that whenever she is in need of his help, he will appear.
Shakuni confronts Karna for not competing in the Swayamvar. He suggests Duryodhan should become the king of Hastinapur before Dhritarashtra learns about the Pandavas. With Bheem's grand announcement, Draupadi is married to the Pandava brothers.
