They plan to burn their palace, but Vidur, another uncle, tells Bheem of the plan beforehand. Everyone believes that the Pandavas and Kunti have been burned alive, but with the help of Vidur, they use an underground escape route to flee the burning palace. Vidur advises them to live undercover in the forest for some time to build their strength and supporters, telling them that Krishna will guide them. King Draupad holds a competition to find a husband for his daughter, Draupadi. The Pandavas arrive in the disguise of Brahmins to partake, and Arjuna wins the competition. When Arjuna comes to tell Kunti the news, without hearing what happened, Kunti orders Arjuna to share whatever he has won amongst all five brothers. Krishna arrives and explains how in her past life, Draupadi had asked for a husband five times, and Shiva had granted this request. The Pandavas create a palace of illusions and invite Duryodhan, where Draupadi insults him out of vengeance. Duryodhan leaves feeling humiliated and angry. Duryodhan sets up a gambling match, where Yuddhishtir loses his kingdom and all of his possessions. He gambles away Draupadi, who Duryodhan publicly disrobes.

Draupadi prays to Krishna, who uses his divine power to protect her dignity. To atone for their sins of gambling and not protecting Draupadi, the Pandavas go into exile again. Krishna warns the Kauravas against starting war, but they do not pay heed. Arjuna tells Krishna he cannot fight against his family, but Krishna tells him this is a war of right and wrong, and he must fight for the truth. Krishna reminds him that souls are immortal, so he should not worry about killing his family members' bodies. The Pandavas realize that they can't win until Bheeshma is on the battlefield because he has a boon that he cannot die.
