Yudhishtra and the Pandavas
were banished to the forest for 13 years by the Kauravas. When people find out that the Pandavas
were going to the forest for 13 years, they feel
rejected and follow Yudhishtra to the forest. Dhaumya asks Yudhishtra to pray
to Surya Bagwan to feed all of them. Draupadi gets a boon from the sun
god where she has to cook very little food and put it in a pot called 'Akshayapatra'.
The pot will then be able to feed everyone for 12 years. Only at the end when
Draupadi finishes her dinner is when the pot will become empty.
The Pandavas first go to The
Kamyaka forest. Vidura tries to advise Dritharashtra to get the pandavas back
from the forest. Dritharashtra gets so annoyed that he banishes Vidura to the
forest. Every rishi that comes to Drithrashra's house always advised him to
change his sons actions. They foresaw the future. Maithraya tries to put sense
into Duryodana . Duryodana disrespects Maythraia , and so he curses Duryodana
and says that he will be killed by Bhima. Bhagwan Krishna visits the pandavas
and says he is very sorry at their state. He could not help them as he was very busy protecting
his people in Dwaraka from invasion. Draupadi gets angry at Krishna. Krishna promises that a
day will come when the Kauravas’ wives will cry the same way Draupati does now.
Arjuna goes up north to get weapons
from Indra. He meditates for a longtime and is challenged by lord Shiva, who
appears in front of Arjuna as a hunter. Shiva gives Arjuna the ‘Pashupatastra’
and Indra gives Arjuna the ‘Vajarayudam.’
