顿谤补耻辫补诲墨, wife of the 笔腻峁囜笉补惫补蝉.

i). Previous births. 笔腻帽肠腻濒墨 had many previous births. During all these births many gods blessed her saying that she would have five husbands when she was born as the daughter of Drupada. Stories about her previous births lying scattered in the 笔耻谤腻峁嘺蝉 are given below:鈥�

惭腻测腻蝉墨迟腻.

When 搁腻尘补 and 尝补办峁�m补峁嘺 were in exile in the forest with 厂墨迟腻, Agni came to 搁腻尘补 once and told him in private thus: "Oh 搁腻尘补, you have incarnated on earth to kill 搁腻惫补峁嘺. The time for that is drawing nigh and ere long 搁腻惫补峁嘺 would carry away 厂墨迟腻. It is not proper that 厂墨迟腻, the incarnation of 尝补办峁�m墨, should be touched by 搁腻惫补峁嘺. Therefore I shall keep 厂墨迟腻 safe with me and I am giving you a phantom 厂墨迟腻 to be with you in her stead." 艢r墨 搁腻尘补 took the M膩y膩s墨t膩 from Agni without even 尝补办峁�m补峁嘺 knowing it and handed over the original 厂墨迟腻 to the custody of Agni.

While thus 艢r墨 搁腻尘补, 尝补办峁�m补峁嘺 and M膩y膩s墨t膩 were living together in their hermitage a golden deer was seen one day in the precincts of their 腻艣谤补尘补. 厂墨迟腻 was enamoured of the beautiful deer and wanted it. So 搁腻尘补 keeping 尝补办峁�m补峁嘺 to watch over 厂墨迟腻 went in search of the deer. 艢r墨 搁腻尘补 tried his best to capture the deer alive. But all his efforts failed and by that time he had come far from the 腻艣谤补尘补 following the deer. So he discharged an arrow and killed it. While falling dead the deer raised a cry imitating that of 搁腻尘补鈥檚 and called 尝补办峁�m补峁嘺 for help. The deer was none other than 惭腻谤墨肠补, the uncle of 搁腻惫补峁嘺. On hearing the call for help 尝补办峁�m补峁嘺 rushed to the spot from where the sound came and 厂墨迟腻 was left alone for some time. 搁腻惫补峁嘺 came to the 腻艣谤补尘补 at that time and took the M膩y膩s墨t膩 away to 尝补峁卥腻.

搁腻尘补 and 尝补办峁�m补峁嘺 went to 尝补峁卥腻 with an army of monkeys and after killing 搁腻惫补峁嘺 took back 厂墨迟腻 to 础测辞诲丑测腻. Then 搁腻尘补 in deference to public opinion put 厂墨迟腻 into the fire to test her purity. At that time god Agni taking back M膩y膩s墨t膩 gave the real 厂墨迟腻 to 搁腻尘补, unscathed by the fire. Then, when M膩y膩s墨t膩 was thus abandoned by 搁腻尘补 she bowed down before 艢r墨 搁腻尘补 and Agni and asked them thus "What am I to do now? Where should I go?" They advised her to go to 笔耻峁�k补谤补 and do penance there and blessed her saying that at the successful end of her penance she would become Svargalak峁�m墨. 笔补谤补尘补艣颈惫补 was pleased by her penance and appearing before her asked her what boon she wanted. M膩y膩s墨t膩 who had become Svargalak峁�m墨 by then requested 艢颈惫补 to give her a husband. She repeated the request '笔补迟颈峁� dehi' (Give me a husband) five times and 艢颈惫补 said that she would have five husbands in her next life as the daughter of the King of 笔腻帽肠腻濒补 with the name 碍峁涐梗峁嚹�. (9th Skandha, Dev墨 Bh膩gavata).

ii) N膩l膩ya峁嚹� (滨苍诲谤补蝉别苍腻). Once there was an aged sage named Maudgalya. N膩l膩ya峁嚹� alias 滨苍诲谤补蝉别苍腻 was the wife of Maudgalya. Even though the wife was young and the husband old, N膩l膩ya峁嚹� was very chaste. The sage became very old, grey-haired and rugous, skeletonlike with a foul smell emanating from his body. He was always in an angry mood. Still N膩l膩ya峁嚹� stuck to him as a chaste, loving and dutiful wife. As time passed on Maudgalya became a leper. One day while the sage was eating, a finger of his broke and fell into the rice. With great calmness and devotion N膩l膩ya峁嚹� removed the finger from the rice and ate the rice. Greatly pleased at this act of hers the sage asked her what boon she wanted an she replied she desired to have an amorous life with him as Pa帽ca艣ar墨ra. Maudgalya granted her the boon and they both travelled the whole world enjoying an amorous life. When the sage took the form of a mountain N膩l膩ya峁嚹� became a river and when the sage took the shape of a flowering tree she became a creeper on it. They spent thousands of years like that and then Maudgalya became tired of a sexual life and returned to the ascetic life. Even after such a long period of erotic life N膩l膩ya峁嚹� was still lustful and she resented the decision of her husband to go back to the life of a hermit. She begged her husband to continue the same life for some more time. Maudgalya got cross when she thus caused hindrance to his penance and cursed her saying that she would in her next life be born as the daughter of the King of 笔腻帽肠腻濒补 when she would have five husbands to satisfy her lust. Greatly grieved at this curse she practised severe austerities standing in the midst of 笔补帽肠腻驳苍颈. Pleased with her penance 艢颈惫补 appeared before her and blessed her saying that she would be born in her next birth in a very noble family and she would then have five husbands, good-natured, doing godly work and equal in valour to Indra. She then pleaded that she should be granted the boon to remain a virgin during the coitus with each of her husbands. 艢颈惫补 granted that wish. Then 艢颈惫补 sent her to the river 骋补峁単腻, and asked her to fetch a beautiful young man whom she would be seeing there. Accordingly she went to the river to do as she was directed.

At that time all the devas joined together and performed a Y膩ga at 狈补颈尘颈峁Ｄ乺补峁噛补. 碍腻濒补, the god of Death, was one of the chief priests for the function. The Y膩ga lasted for a long time and since 碍腻濒补 was consecrated for the Y膩ga he did not attend to his duties as the god of Death. Death came to a dead stop and men increased in alarming numbers and the devas were perplexed. They went to 叠谤补丑尘腻 and acquainted him with the frightening situation. 叠谤补丑尘腻 sent them to 狈补颈尘颈峁Ｄ乺补峁噛补. They went there and were talking to 碍腻濒补 when they saw a few golden flowers coming down the river. Getting curious Indra walked up the river to locate the origin of these flowers. When he reached the place of origin of 骋补峁単腻 he saw N膩l膩ya峁嚹� there. N膩l膩ya峁嚹� took the beautiful young man to 艢颈惫补. 艢颈惫补 was at that time engaged in a game of dice with 笔腻谤惫补迟墨 and Indra did not then recognise 艢颈惫补. Indra in his arrogance argued that the whole universe belonged to him. 艢颈惫补 jumped up enraged and ran after Indra who ran to the mouth of a cave. 艢颈惫补 caught him and said that he would show him four Indras inside that cave. Both of them entered the cave and to the amazement of Indra he saw four other Indras sitting inside the cave. They were all the creation of 艢颈惫补 and with the original Indra the number of Indras came to five. Then addressing N膩l膩ya峁嚹� who had followed them 艢颈惫补 said, "Oh beautiful girl, do not be worried. All these five are your husbands. You will be born as the daughter of the King of 笔腻帽肠腻濒补. Then all these five will be born in the lunar race and will marry you."

The Indras agreed to be born on earth and do the work of God. After that they all went to 惭补丑腻惫颈峁ａ箛耻 and requested him to give them mighty accomplices to fulfil their mission. Then 惭补丑腻惫颈峁ａ箛耻 plucked two hairs from his body, one white and the other black, and dropped them on the ground. The black hair was born as 艢r墨 碍峁涐梗峁嘺 and the white hair was born as 叠补濒补谤腻尘补, to help the 笔腻峁囜笉补惫补蝉 later.

笔腻帽肠腻濒墨鈥檚 two previous births can be explained thus: Agnideva created M膩y膩s墨t膩 who in turn became Svargalak峁�m墨 to be born as 笔腻帽肠腻濒墨. M膩y膩s墨t膩 was a part of 惭补丑腻濒补办峁�m墨 and so also N膩l膩ya峁嚹� who became 笔腻帽肠腻濒墨 was a part of 尝补办峁�m墨. 笔腻峁囜笉补惫补蝉 are known to be the sons of five gods and they used for the procreation of the 笔腻峁囜笉补惫补蝉 Indr膩峁兣沘 (part of Indra) thus making them all Indras. (Chapters 197 and 198, 膧di Parva).

Birth of 笔腻帽肠腻濒墨.

笔腻帽肠腻濒墨 was born in the palace of Drupada, King of 笔腻帽肠腻濒补. She had a brother named 顿丑峁涐梗峁璦诲测耻尘苍补. There is a story about their birth in the 笔耻谤腻峁嘺蝉:

Drupada insulted 顿谤辞峁嘺 his classmate in the Gurukula and 顿谤辞峁嘺 kept in mind the insult to wreak vengeance on Drupada. Drupada, therefore, wanted a son to be born who would defeat 顿谤辞峁嘺 in a battle. Brahmins advised him to conduct a Y膩ga for that purpose. He decided to conduct one on a large scale and went about in search of a Yajv膩 (one who performs sacrifices according to Vedic rites) and reached Kalm膩峁�apur墨 on the banks of the river 骋补峁単腻. There he saw a brahmin鈥檚 house where lived two sages named Y膩ja and Upay膩ja. They were in figure and nature alike. At first Drupada went to the younger of the two, Upay膩ja. He went near him and after massaging his feet and legs requested him to officiate in a Y膩ga aimed at getting for him a son to conquer 顿谤辞峁嘺 in a battle. He promised to give him ten crores of cattle for that and also anything else the sage wanted. These promises did not make the sage consent to conduct the Y膩ga and so the King stayed at the 腻艣谤补尘补 serving the sage. A year went by and one day the sage appeared cheerful and told Drupada thus: "Oh King, my brother who was walking one day in a storm saw a fruit lying on his way and ate it without first ascertaining whether the fruit was pure or not. Again, I have seen him taking food from others freely and eating it. I think he is wishful about wealth and, perhaps, if you approach him he may help you."

Drupada went to Y膩ja and after serving him to please him made his request promising him much wealth. Y膩ja was ready to perform the 驰补箩帽补. Upay膩ja came to them at that time and Y膩ja consulted his brother before going to perform the 驰补箩帽补. The Y膩ga was successfully conducted and at the end the priest Y膩ja called the wife of Drupada and gave her havya (clarified butter). Because the havya was prepared by Y膩ja and was offered by Upay膩ja the sages said that the queen would get two children. While Y膩ja was offering oblations to the sacrificial fire a boy with a crown on his head and bearing a sword and a bow in his hands rose from the fire. The 峁涐梗is present there then said that, that boy would kill 顿谤辞峁嘺. He was named 顿丑峁涐梗峁璦诲测耻尘苍补. Then from the dais of the Y膩ga-fire emerged a beautiful lady of dazzling brilliance. Immediately a voice from heaven was heard to say thus: "This Sumadhyam膩 (a girl in her blossoming youth) would work on the side of God and will cause terror to the Kauravas."

Y膩ja blessed the wife of Drupada saying that the two children would thenceforth call her mother. Y膩ja himself named the boy 顿丑峁涐梗峁璦诲测耻尘苍补 and the girl according to the ethereal voice, 碍峁涐梗峁嚹�. 碍峁涐梗峁嚹� was dark in complexion. 碍峁涐梗峁嚹� was called P膩r峁�a峁��� because she was the grand-daughter of 笔峁涐梗补迟补 and 顿谤补耻辫补诲墨 because she was the daughter of Drupada and 笔腻帽肠腻濒墨 because she was the daughter of the King of 笔腻帽肠腻濒补. 笔腻帽肠腻濒墨 grew up in the palace of Drupada. (Chapter 167, 膧di Parva).

Marriage.

After escaping from the lac palace the 笔腻峁囜笉补惫补蝉 reached a village named 贰办补肠补办谤腻 after walking a long time through the forests. There they stayed in a brahmin鈥檚 house. Every morning they would go in disguise for begging and return with the alms in the evening. This was their daily routine and one day while they were in their daily round they saw a group of brahmins and they said they were going to the 厂惫补测补峁僾补谤补 of the daughter of the King of 笔腻帽肠腻濒补. The brahmins invited them also to come along with them describing in detail the beauty of the girl and the elaborate and festive arrangements made for the marriage. The 笔腻峁囜笉补惫补蝉 went to 笔腻帽肠腻濒补 along with the brahmins. On the way they met 痴别诲补惫测腻蝉补 and receiving blessings from him they went to the capital city of 笔腻帽肠腻濒补 and took their abode in the house of a potter. Nobody knew who they were.

Drupada had placed a mighty steel bow in the marriage hall. When all the distinguished guests were seated in the marriage hall, the King announced that his daughter would be given in marriage to him who bent the steel bow and with it shot a steel arrow, through the central aperture of a revolving disc, at a target placed above. Many valiant princes from all parts of 叠丑腻谤补迟补 including the Kauravas had gathered there. When it was time for the ceremonies to begin 笔腻帽肠腻濒墨 clad in beautiful robes with a bewitching charm which excited the royal assemblage entered the hall with a garland in her hands. Then 顿丑峁涐梗峁璦诲测耻尘苍补 brother of 笔腻帽肠腻濒墨 said "Hear ye, oh princes, seated in state in this assembly, here is the bow and arrow. He who sends five arrows in succession through the hole in the wheel and unerringly hits the target shall win my sister."

Many noted princes rose one after another and tried in vain to string the bow. It was too heavy and stiff for them. Then Arjuna rose and meditating on 狈腻谤腻测补峁嘺, the Supreme God, strung the bow with ease and hit at the target. 笔腻帽肠腻濒墨 then put the garland on Arjuna鈥檚 neck and accepting him as her husband went with him and stayed that night at the house of the potter. Drupada that night went to the house of the potter to make enquiries about his daughter and son-in-law. His joy knew no bounds when he knew that his son-in-law was none other than the celebrated Arjuna. The 笔腻峁囜笉补惫补蝉 then took 笔补帽肠腻濒墨 to their home in 贰办补肠补办谤腻 and as soon as 碍耻苍迟墨dev墨 heard the footsteps of her sons outside she said from inside asking them to share that day鈥檚 alms among themselves little knowing that it was a bride that had been brought by them. Thus 笔腻帽肠腻濒墨 became the common consort of the five 笔腻峁囜笉补惫补蝉. Then the marriage of 笔腻帽肠腻濒墨 was ceremoniously conducted after inviting friends and relatives. The 笔腻峁囜笉补惫补蝉 then built a new palace at Indraprastha and lived there. (Chapters 190 to 220, 膧di Parva).

艢r墨 碍峁涐梗峁嘺 was present there along with the leading members of the clan of 痴峁涐梗峁噄. He could recognise the 笔腻峁囜笉补惫补蝉 in spite of their disguise. 艢r墨 碍峁涐梗峁嘺 went to the potter鈥檚 house and visited them. He gave them valuable presents on the occasion of their marriage.

Making 顿谤补耻辫补诲墨 naked.

Once Duryodhana challenged Dharmaputra to a game of dice. Dharmaputra lost all and in the end in despair pledged 顿谤补耻辫补诲墨 and lost her. Immediately Duryodhana asked Vidura to bring 顿谤补耻辫补诲墨 to his palace and make her serve as a servant-maid. Vidura did not consent to that. Then Duryodhana asked Pr膩tik膩mi to bring her. While entering the palace of 顿谤补耻辫补诲墨, Pr膩tik膩mi was as timid as a dog about to enter the cage of a lion. He informed 顿谤补耻辫补诲墨 of his mission. 顿谤补耻辫补诲墨 sent him back and then Duryodhana sent another messenger. 顿谤补耻辫补诲墨 went with him to the court of the Kauravas. As soon as 顿耻艣艣腻蝉补苍补 saw 顿谤补耻辫补诲墨 he jumped at her and caught hold of her hair and dragged her to the centre of the assembly. When 顿耻艣艣腻蝉补苍补 dragged her thus she said in piteous tones "I am in my monthly period and I have only the upper garment on me. Please do not take me to the assembly." 顿耻艣艣腻蝉补苍补 was not moved by these pleadings and he dragged her still.

叠丑墨尘补 could not hold himself calm against this atrocity any longer and in a roar of wrath he abused Dharmaputra for pledging 笔腻帽肠腻濒墨 thus and losing her. Arjuna however remonstrated gently with 叠丑墨尘补. Then to the consternation of all, 顿耻艣艣腻蝉补苍补 started his shameful work of pulling at 笔腻帽肠腻濒墨鈥檚 robes to strip her of all the clothes. All earthly aid having failed 顿谤补耻辫补诲墨 in utter helplessness implored divine mercy and succour. Then a miracle occurred. In vain did 顿耻艣艣腻蝉补苍补 toil to pull the garments completely and make her naked. As he pulled off each, fresh garments were seen to come from somewhere and cover her nudity. 顿耻艣艣腻蝉补苍补 retired from his work exhausted and disappointed. Then 碍补谤峁嘺 ordered that 顿谤补耻辫补诲墨 should be sent to the palace of Duryodhana as a servant-maid. Hearing this 顿耻艣艣腻蝉补苍补 once again started dragging her. 顿谤补耻辫补诲墨 wept. 叠丑墨尘补 roared in fury and said that if his brother, Dharmaputra, gave him permission he would at that instant smash to death the Kauravas just like a lion killing the animals. 叠丑墨峁�m补 and 顿谤辞峁嘺 interfered and pacified him. Duryodhana stood up and striking his right thigh with his right hand challenged 叠丑墨尘补 to a fight. 叠丑墨尘补sena did not like Duryodhana exhibiting his naked thigh in front of 顿谤补耻辫补诲墨 and an angered 叠丑墨尘补 declared that he would in a battle break Duryodhana鈥檚 thigh with his mace. 顿丑峁泃补谤腻峁ａ弓谤补 came to the scene and pacified both of them and turning to 笔腻帽肠腻濒墨 asked her to name any boon she wanted from him. 笔腻帽肠腻濒墨 said: "In order that my son, Prativindhya, should not be called a 'd膩saputra' (son of a servant) his father Dharmaputra should be released from his servitude." The boon was granted. Then she requested that all the other 笔腻峁囜笉补惫补蝉 should be set free. That was also allowed. 顿丑峁泃补谤腻峁ａ弓谤补 then asked her to name a third boon. 笔腻帽肠腻濒墨 then said that all 碍峁�a迟谤颈测补 women were entitled only to two boons and so there was no need for a third one. Then 顿谤补耻辫补诲墨 took a vow that her hair which was let lose by the wicked 顿耻艣艣腻蝉补苍补 would be tied properly only by a hand tainted by the blood of 顿耻艣艣腻蝉补苍补. After that in strict obedience to the conditions of the wager the 笔腻峁囜笉补惫补蝉 started for the forests with 顿谤补耻辫补诲墨 to spend twelve years in the forests and one year incognito. (Ten Chapters from Chapter 68, 厂补产丑腻 Parva).

Vanav膩sa of 笔腻帽肠腻濒墨.

(Life in the forests). During the exile of the 笔腻峁囜笉补惫补蝉 in the forests 笔腻帽肠腻濒墨 was involved in many events of which a few important ones are given below:

(i) 碍颈谤尘墨谤补鈥檚 attack. When the 笔腻峁囜笉补惫补蝉 were in the K膩myakavana, 碍颈谤尘墨谤补, the brother of Baka, came to the 腻艣谤补尘补 where 笔腻帽肠腻濒墨 was taking rest. The demon was such a fierce-looking giant that 笔腻帽肠腻濒墨 was forced to shut her eyes by fright and she became wearied like a river in the midst of five hillocks. 叠丑墨尘补sena immediately ran to her rescue and killed 碍颈谤尘墨谤补. (Chapter 11, Vana Parva).

(ii) 笔腻帽肠腻濒墨 consoled Dharmaputra by her soothing words. (Chapter 27, Vana Parva).

(iii) Once when her woes became unbearable she condemned the devas. (Chapter 3, Vana Parva).

(iv) While the 笔腻峁囜笉补惫补蝉 were on the mountain 骋补苍诲丑补尘腻诲补苍补, 笔腻帽肠腻濒墨 persuaded 叠丑墨尘补 to bring for her the Saugandhika flower. (See under 叠丑墨尘补).

(v) While the 笔腻峁囜笉补惫补蝉 were living in the Badarik腻艣谤补尘补 waiting for the return of Arjuna who had gone on a year鈥檚 pilgrimage, 笔腻帽肠腻濒墨 was carried away by 闯补峁�膩s耻谤补. (See under 闯补峁�膩s耻谤补).

(vi) After she was rescued from 闯补峁�膩s耻谤补, 笔腻帽肠腻濒墨 along with her husbands dwelt in the hermitage of 膧谤峁ａ弓颈峁�e峁嘺. (See under 膧谤峁ａ弓颈峁�e峁嘺).

(vii) Once 顿谤补耻辫补诲墨 gave instructions on the duties of a wife to 厂补迟测补产丑腻尘腻 who came to the forests along with 艢r墨 碍峁涐梗峁嘺. (Chapters 233 and 234, Vana Parva).

(viii) Once 顿耻谤惫腻蝉补蝉 with his disciples came to the forest as the guests of the 笔腻峁囜笉补惫补蝉. They came late and 笔腻帽肠腻濒墨 had taken her food already. The Ak峁�ayap膩tra (the never-empty pot) could not be invoked to produce anything that day and 笔腻帽肠腻濒墨 was greatly agitated and worried. She prayed to 艢r墨 碍峁涐梗峁嘺 for succour and 艢r墨 碍峁涐梗峁嘺 also coming hungry searched in the pot for something to eat and finding a bit of spinach sticking to the sides of the pot grabbed it with avidity and ate it. The guests felt as if they had enjoyed a sumptuous feast and left the place well pleased. (See para XII under Duryodhana).

(ix) Jayadratha carried away 笔腻帽肠腻濒墨 from the forests once. The 笔腻峁囜笉补惫补蝉 rescued her. (Para 4 under Jayadratha).

Life incognito.

After their twelve years of exile in the forests the time for living in disguise for a year came and Dharmaputra and his brothers with 笔腻帽肠腻濒墨 spent that period in the palace of the King 痴颈谤腻峁璦. Each assumed a new name and accepted different types of service under the King. 笔腻帽肠腻濒墨 took the name of 厂补颈谤补苍诲丑谤墨 and served as a companion and attendant to the princess. One day 碍墨肠补办补, the mighty brother-in-law of the King, tried to molest 笔腻帽肠腻濒墨 and 叠丑墨尘补sena killed him. (See under 碍墨肠补办补). It was at the time when the incognito life was coming to an end that the Kaurava army headed by Duryodhana carried away the cattle of the King 痴颈谤腻峁璦. The King was absent from the palace at that time and the prince, Uttara, had not the guts to go and attack the Kaurava army. It was 笔腻帽肠腻濒墨 who then suggested sending of 叠峁沨补苍苍补濒补 of the palace (Arjuna) to serve as charioteer of Uttara. (See under Arjuna, Para 24).

Subsequent events.

The thirteen years of life in exile and incognito came to an end. But the Kauravas were not prepared to give half of the kingdom to the 笔腻峁囜笉补惫补蝉. The differences between them increased and it led to a great war. 艢r墨 碍峁涐梗峁嘺 agreed to go as a messenger to the court of 顿丑峁泃补谤腻峁ａ弓谤补 and ask for the share of the 笔腻峁囜笉补惫补蝉. Before leaving he asked each of the 笔腻峁囜笉补惫补蝉 what he should say at the court of 顿丑峁泃补谤腻峁ａ弓谤补. 笔腻帽肠腻濒墨 then approached 碍峁涐梗峁嘺 in private and said she desired for a war to defeat the Kauravas. She then reminded 碍峁涐梗峁嘺 of a vow taken by 叠丑墨尘补sena that he would tie her hair with his hands smeared with the blood from the thigh of 顿耻艣艣腻蝉补苍补.

The peace-mission of 碍峁涐梗峁嘺 failed and the famous 碍耻谤耻办峁�e迟谤补 battle started. Many valiant warriors on both the sides were killed. When Abhimanyu was killed 厂耻产丑补诲谤腻 wept bitterly and 笔腻帽肠腻濒墨 who went to console her fainted. 艢r墨 碍峁涐梗峁嘺 revived her. 笔腻帽肠腻濒墨 asked 叠丑墨尘补sena to bring to her the inborn jewel on the head of 础艣惫补迟迟丑腻尘腻, son of 顿谤辞峁嘺. She wanted to take revenge on him for killing her brother 顿丑峁涐梗峁璦诲测耻尘苍补. After a fierce battle for eighteen days the Kauravas were defeated and their tribe annihilated. 笔腻峁囜笉补惫补蝉 took hold of 贬补蝉迟颈苍腻辫耻谤补 and 笔腻帽肠腻濒墨 was one among those who persuaded Dharmaputra to take charge of the administration of the state as its ruler. Dharmaputra performed an 础艣惫补尘别诲丑补yaj帽a and 笔腻帽肠腻濒墨 gave presents to 颁颈迟谤腻峁単补诲腻 and 鲍濒奴辫墨 who were present for the function then. After the 础艣惫补尘别诲丑补 顿谤补耻辫补诲墨 lived in 贬补蝉迟颈苍腻辫耻谤补 serving 碍耻苍迟墨 and 骋腻苍诲丑腻谤墨 alike for a long time. It was at that time that 顿丑峁泃补谤腻峁ａ弓谤补, 骋腻苍诲丑腻谤墨 and 碍耻苍迟墨 went to the forests and 顿谤补耻辫补诲墨 expressed her desire to go along with them to be of help to them. But they did not allow her to do so. While the 笔腻峁囜笉补惫补蝉 were living in 贬补蝉迟颈苍腻辫耻谤补 as the rulers of the country eminent 峁涐梗is from different parts of the country visited them and some of the Siddhas (realised souls) among them saw 笔腻帽肠腻濒墨 as the goddess 惭补丑腻濒补办峁�m墨 herself. (艢濒辞办补 9, Chapter 25, 膧艣ramav膩sika Parva).

Death of 笔腻帽肠腻濒墨.

At the fag end of their life the 笔腻峁囜笉补惫补蝉 crowned 笔补谤墨办峁�i迟 as the King of 贬补蝉迟颈苍腻辫耻谤补 and started on their Mah膩prasth膩na. They travelled for long through the 贬颈尘腻濒补测补蝉 and reached 惭补丑腻尘别谤耻. At that time 笔腻帽肠腻濒墨 fell down dead. Then 叠丑墨尘补sena asked 驰耻诲丑颈峁ａ弓丑颈谤补 why without any particular ailment 笔腻帽肠腻濒墨 died. 驰耻诲丑颈峁ａ弓丑颈谤补 replied that it was because she showed special interest in Arjuna The 笔腻峁囜笉补惫补蝉 walked on and all of them excepting Dharmaputra died on the way one by one. Even before Dharmaputra entered svarga 笔腻帽肠腻濒墨 and the four brothers had reached there. (Chapters 1 to 4, Mah膩prasth膩nika Parva).

Sons of 笔腻帽肠腻濒墨.

笔腻帽肠腻濒墨 had five sons one each from each of the five husbands. She got Prativindhya of 驰耻诲丑颈峁ａ弓丑颈谤补, 艢rutasoma of 叠丑墨尘补sena, 艢谤耻迟补办墨谤迟颈 of Arjuna, 艢补迟腻苍墨办补 of Nakula and 艢谤耻迟补办补谤尘腻 of Sahadeva. (艢濒辞办补 73, Chapter 95, 膧di Parva).
