जनमेजय उवाच
एवं संप्राप्य राज्यं तद् इन्द्रप्रस्थे तपोधन ॥
अत ऊर्ध्वं महात्मानः किम् अकुर्वन्त पाण्डवाः ॥
सर्व एव महात्मानः पूर्वे मम पितामहाः ॥
द्रौपदी धर्मपत्नी च कथं तान् अन्ववर्तत ॥
कथं वा पञ्च कृष्णायाम् एकस्यां ते नराधिपाः ॥
वर्तमाना महाभागा नाभिद्यन्त परस्परम् ॥
श्रोतुम् इच्छाम्य् अहं सर्वं विस्तरेण तपोधन ॥
तेषां चेष्टितम् अन्योन्यं युक्तानां कृष्णया तया ॥
janamejaya uvāca
evaṃ saṃprāpya rājyaṃ tad indraprasthe tapodhana ||
ata ūrdhvaṃ mahātmānaḥ kim akurvanta pāṇḍavāḥ ||
sarva eva mahātmānaḥ pūrve mama pitāmahāḥ ||
draupadī dharmapatnī ca kathaṃ tān anvavartata ||
kathaṃ vā pañca kṛṣṇāyām ekasyāṃ te narādhipāḥ ||
vartamānā mahābhāgā nābhidyanta parasparam ||
śrotum icchāmy ahaṃ sarvaṃ vistareṇa tapodhana ||
teṣāṃ ceṣṭitam anyonyaṃ yuktānāṃ kṛṣṇayā tayā ||
Janamejaya said: "Thus having obtained the kingdom in Indraprastha, O rich in austerity, what did the great-souled Pandavas -- all my ancient forefathers -- do after that? And how did Draupadi, the dharma-wife, conduct herself with them? And how did those five lords of men, sharing one Krishna, not fall apart from one another? I wish to hear it all in detail -- their mutual conduct with one another."

The very question here reveals the wonder of an unbroken brotherhood. It is telling that Janamejaya marvels at how the five did not part ways over a single wife: harmony where others would expect discord is itself astonishing. Here we see the truth that the Pandavas' unity was the fruit of their righteousness and of a divine ordering. Thus the scripture shows the importance of the question; and the answer will reveal what preserved their unity.
