Jayadratha Seeks Boon from ShivaCh. 553
Stricken with grief and shame after his humiliation, Jayadratha goes to Gangadvara and performs great austerities to please Shiva. When the god grants him a boon, he asks to be able to vanquish all five Pandavas in battle. Shiva grants a modified version: Jayadratha will be able to restrain all of them — except Arjuna, who is invincible and protected by Krishna.
