Kichaka's brothers killed

Draupadi went to the court and announced the death of Kichaka. People rushed and saw the dead body of Kichaka lying in the dance hall. He had been beaten to death and his body was barely recognizable. The king was angry that the commander of his army was dead. He ordered Sairadhri to be tied and burnt. She started crying out to Jay, Vijay, Jayanta, Jayantasena, Jayadwal (names that had give to the Pandavas) to come to her rescue. Kichaka's brothers were trying to drag her, when Bhima heard her cried. Changing his dress quickly he jumped to the spot.
The brothers of Kichaka seeing this tried to run, but Bhima caught them. It was night time when Bhima killed them all, and no one saw this happening. Draupadi was told to go back to her room.

In the morning, the news reached the king that the gandharva who had killed Kichaka had killed his brothers also, who were trying to kill the maid.

The king went to the queen and said troubles were arising because of the maid. The queen calling Draupadi asked her to leave.

Draupadi said I want your permission to stay here for thirteen more days. On the fourteenth day, I will be gone.

The Queen agreed to that.
