Chapter Forty-Five The names of the ten daughters were: 1. Gunaprabha, 2. Suprabha, 3. Hri, 4. Sri, 5. Rati, 6. Padma, 7. Indivara, 8. Visva, 9. Acharya, and 10. Asoka. Gunaprabha was the eldest. These daughters were previously offered to Yudhishthira, but after receiving news of his demise, they became Shravakas, observing the Anuvrata. In the same Trishrungapura, there lived a wealthy merchant named Priyamitra, who was a connoisseur of human nature. Recognizing the Pandavas as extraordinary individuals, he treated them with great respect. Priyamitra had a wife named Somini, and they had a daughter named Nayanasundari, whose beauty and grace were a delight to the eyes. This daughter had also been previously offered to the valiant Yudhishthira, and like the other princesses, she had embraced the Anuvrata. King Prachandavahan, along with his wife, and Priyamitra, the merchant, considered the Pandavas, disguised as Brahmanas, to be great men. They wished to offer all their daughters to Yudhishthira, their eldest son. However, the daughters had firmly resolved in their hearts, "Even if Yudhishthira has departed to the other world, he is my husband in this life, and no other." With this conviction, they did not accept the Pandavas, disguised as Brahmanas, as their husbands. Thereafter, the Pandavas, with their unwavering resolve like Mount Sumeru, left that city and continued their journey, eventually reaching Champapuri, where King Karna ruled. There, a maddened elephant was causing havoc in the city. The skillful Bhima, in a playful manner, subdued the elephant and calmed its rage. Witnessing Bhima's valor, Karna was filled with resentment. From there, they proceeded to Vaidishapura, a city as beautiful as Indrapura. At that time, King Vrishdhavja ruled the city, and his son, Dridhayudha, was the crown prince. King Vrishdhavja's queen was named Dishavali, and she had a daughter named Dishananda. Dishananda's beauty, like the purity of the directions, was renowned throughout the land. One day, Bhima, with his deep voice and penetrating gaze, a handsome man with captivating eyes, appeared as a beggar in the royal palace.
