When Drupada's family priest arrived at the potter's house, Yudhishthira instructed Bhima to seat him respectfully. In response to the priest's questions, Yudhisthira said, "The King of Panchala had announced that his daughter would marry the winner of the swayamvara. It is not right for him to then question the young man's lineage. Nevertheless, you may tell him his wish has been fulfilled."

Before the family priest returned to the king, the king's messenger reached the potter's house. "King Drupada has invited all of you to dine with him," he said.

Kunti, Draupadi, and the Pandavas graciously accepted the invitation. They boarded the chariot that awaited them outside and sped off toward the palace.
