about

After losing the game of dice the Pandavas begin their long exile. During the first 12 years they lived in the forests among the sages and visited holy places. During this time Arjuna visits Devaloka, the abode of his spiritual father Indra - Lord of thunder, ruler of Heavens and king of Devas. He obtains celestial weapons and also learns music and dance from the Gandharvas. During the 13th year they disguise themselves and work in the kingdom of Matsya. Yudhishthira becomes the king's counsellor, Bheema becomes the royal chef, Arjuna as an eunuch teaches dance and music to the princess and palace maidens, the twins Nakula and Sahadeva work in the royal stables, Draupadi becomes handmaiden to the Queen. The Queen's brother lusts after Draupadi and tries to seduce her but is slain and decapitated by Bheema. This news reaches the Kauravas who deduce the Pandavas hiding place and promptly go to war with that kingdom. Arjuna singlehandedly routs the Kaurava forces and the Pandavas reveal themselves by which time the 13th year had passed. Elated that his kingdom was saved, the king offers his daughter's hand in marriage to Arjuna who refuses as he was her teacher and instead marries her to his son Abhimanyu.
