BALA BHARATA.

Draupadi is married to the five sons of Pandu, in compliance with the

command of their mother. Yudhishthira, the eldest son of Pandu, loses

every thing including Draupadi at chess-play with Duryodhana, the eldest

of the Kauravas. Draupadi is now dragged by the hair, almost naked, into

the public assembly, an insult in revenge for which ferocious Bhima vows

to slay Duhsasana, the insulter, and drink his blood, and ultimately

fulfils his vow. The Pandava princes then depart to the forest.
