[Draupadīharaṇaparvan] ("the carrying away of Draupadī," the 46th of the minor parvans of Mbhr.). (Cf. Draupadīharaṇa(m) parva.) § 521: While Duryodhana, Duḥśāsana, *Karṇa*, and *Çakuni* were longing to harm the Pāṇḍavas, Durvāsas arrived with 10,000 disciples, and harassed Duryodhana with his whimsical and insolent behaviour; but as Duryodhana was neither angered nor annoyed, he granted him a boon. According to what had been agreed upon between himself and *Karṇa* and Duḥśāsana, Duryodhana asked Durvāsas to visit the Pāṇḍavas with his disciples, when Draupadī, after having regaled the *brahmans*, etc., with food, would have gone to rest. Durvāsas promised to do so (III, 262). Then Durvāsas one day came to the Pāṇḍavas with 10,000 disciples, when the meal was over and *Kṛṣṇa* was reposing. *Kṛṣṇa* then praised *Kṛṣṇa*, who, leaving *Rukmiṇī*, who was sleeping by his side, came to her and demanded something to eat. Draupadī became embarrassed, because the sun-given vessel only remained full till she had finished her meal, and therefore now was empty. At the request of *Kṛṣṇa* she, however, fetched the vessel, and *Kṛṣṇa* found a particle of rice and vegetable sticking at its rim, and swallowing it he said to her: "May it please the god who is the soul of the universe (*viçvātmā*), and may the partaker of sacrifices (*yajñabhuk*) be satisfied." Then he ordered *Bhīma* (*B. Sahadeva*) to invite the munis to dinner.
