Panchala

When the Yadavas, led by Pradyumna, arrived to the kingdom of Panchalas, many kings fled, but the brave King Dirgabahu came to Pradyumna and offered to compromise. Dirgabahu said: “You have come here, having defeated many kings of different states. If you grant my wish you will give me great pleasure. If any of you will pierce with an arrow a glass vessel filled with water, so that not a single drop falls to the ground, and that the arrow pierced the vessel through, remaining in it without breaking it, then I will give one of my daughters to the winner. I heard from Narada that you are all very skilled in archery." Despite the fact that each of those present was surprised to hear this challenge, Pradyumna immediately accepted it. After that, a large bamboo pole was fixed in the ground. and tied a glass vessel to it. All residents gathered witness this extraordinary sight. Then Pradyumna took the arrow, placed it on the bowstring and released it into the glass vessel. Having pierced through the vessel, the arrow remained in it, half protruding from the front and back. The vessel remained intact did not budge, and not a drop of water came out of it. Then Pradyumna fired a second arrow and it stuck next to the first. Then Samba fired five arrows and all of them remained stuck in a vessel, like Pradyumna's. Following him Yuyudhana shot an arrow, and the vessel immediately shattered. All The Yadavas laughed loudly, saying, “You are undoubtedly great archer like Kartavirya Arjuna, Parasurama, Karna and Rama". Then they tied a new vessel of water to a bamboo pole. Aniruddha shot an arrow that pierced the vessel, without breaking it or spilling a single drop. After that, a large stone was placed on the vessel. Diptiman shot an arrow which fulfilled the required conditions. Son of Krishna, Bhanu, closed his eyes and fired an arrow. The vessel turned upside down, pierced by an arrow, but not a drop flowed out of him. Everyone was amazed! All eighteen sons of Krishna, who were present there, successfully struck the vessel and, amazed and very pleased King Dirgabahu gave them his eighteen daughters to wives. He also gave untold wealth in the form of dowry, and all this was sent to Dvaraka.
