Draupadi was the daughter of the King Drupada and he hope that his
daughter would marry the might Arjuna one of the five Pandu brother.
Drupada construct the mighty bow and the only one who can pick it
up was the strong men's and shoot the golden fish, which was in
swiftly-revolving wheel. He invited my princes all around the world but nobody
would able to pick the bow up or the one who was able to pick it up could not
able to aim and hit the golden fish. The Pandu brothers were not there
but they were watching from the crowd as a Brahmins, nobody knows beside
Krishna who was sitting beside Draupadi and telling her everything about
princes that came there.
Nobody would have imagined that Brahmins who doesn't fight will
come and pick up the bow and shoot the golden fish perfectly. The princes
were mad at the Brahmins but they did not know who it was because the Brahmins
were Pandu brothers who came to watch. Krishna who sided with Pandu
brother gave him a look that he knows them and who they are. Which made
Arjuna to take action, come down to take part in Swayamwara of Draupadi.
When all princes came to attach Arjuna, all of the other Pandu brother
came to fight and protect him. It was brotherly love that made them
protect each other and the teaching of the parents that shows that they would
not let anyone harm their brother. But Krishna comes and protect them by
exchanging smooth words with all the prince's and Draupadi and Arjuna get
married. Then the Swayamwara ends.
Draupadi didn’t mind marrying a Brahmins even though she
said “she will not marry the son of a charioteer.” She may have heard from Krishna that the
Brahmin who pick up the bow was Arjuna.
