This
episode starts off with the Pandavas running away. Bhima sets the house on
fire, but Purochana built a tunnel so they were able to escape with few deaths.
Once they left the tunnel, they were taken away by the boatman. They are
disguised as Brahmins. Draupadi and her brother, Dhrishtadyumna, were born by
butter melted into fire. Their father is King Drupada. Drupada set an archery
test to the Pandavas where of course Arjuna dominated. He was actually the only
one who passed. Because of this he won Draupadi as his wife. People were
surprised, however, because no one knew that he was a Pandava; they were still
disguised as wondering Brahmins. Draupadi marries all of the Pandava brothers.
Arjuna meets Krishna in the forest and falls in love with his sister Subhadra.
He takes her to be his wife. Arjuna and Krishna are approached by Agni who
wants to eat the forest. They distract Indra. Maya seeks Arjuna’s protection
from Agni and builds a palace for the Pandavas as a gift.
