Jayadratha, king of the Sindhus, traveling through the Kamyaka forest to marry another woman, sees Draupadi standing alone at the hermitage gate. Struck by her beauty, he tells his companion Kotikashya that he no longer wishes to marry — he will take this woman instead — and sends him to find out who she is and who protects her.
