Learning the identity of the men, Drupada was excited. He somehow managed to spend the night. The next day he got up early and asked a priest to go to the house of the brahmanas and find out who they really were.
The priest went to the house of the Pandavas. He met Yudhistira who greeted. The priest said he would be asking a few questions and would need the truth as the answer. He said Drupada had given his daughter to them, while he had wanted to give away his daughter to a son of Pandu. With the death of the sons of Pandu, Drupada had been compelled to hold the swayamvara. Vyasa had said that only Arjuna had the skill to shoot the target.
Yudhistira then said there was no need to give their identity. He told the priest to tell the king that only a person of regal bearing had won his daughter.
When the priest said what he had heard, to the king, Dhristadyumna got six chariots ready. He went where the Pandavas were. He asked them to accompany him to the palace. The five brothers climbed on to the five chariots, while Draupadi and Kunti climbed onto the remaining chariot.
The king himself greeted all of them when they arrived. Kunti and Draupadi went into the inner quarters. The king asked the five brothers to accompany him.
The king sat down and asked the brothers to sit. He asked them to disclose their identity.
Yudhistira then told the king who they really were. The king was very glad and hugged the brothers. He then wanted to know what had happened to them since the burning of the house in Varnavrata. Yudhistira told the king everything.
He then told the king that as per his mother's orders, all five brothers would be getting married to Draupadi.
Drupada then said he would discuss with his priests and let the Pandavas know.
