Krishna and Balarama talk

The kings started saying that an impossible target had been set to insult them.
Hearing this, Dhristadyumna said all kshatriyas assembled were eligible for the contest and they could try again. He looked at Krishna, who taking a cue got up and started speaking.
Krishna said the task was indeed difficult. Balarama said he would leave as this seemed to a waste of time. Krishna asked him to stay for one day. There was a person on this planet who could easily achieve this. Balarama asked who was this person, who would wed the beautiful Draupadi.

Krishna said the person who would be able to achieve this task was Partha, son of Indra, born of Kunti. Balarama said then let us leave. What was the point of waiting when the person are referring to perished in the fire in Varnavrata.

Krishna said he knew that the Pandavas were not dead and were very much alive. When it was time, they would reveal themselves. The Pandavas were born of Gods and would not be harmed by fire. If you really want to know, they are present at this moment, in this hall.

Balarama then asked Krishna how they had survived and what they had done all this time. He wanted to know where they were. Pointing to the brahmanas, Krishna pointed out to the Pandavas, showing Balarama all of them. He also said that the troubles of Pandavas had been caused by Duryodhana.In time, it would be the Pandavas who would be victorious.
