Ulupi said: "I know, O descendant of Pandu, how you wander the earth, and how this vow of celibacy was ordained for you by your teacher; 'you who take turns approaching the daughter of Drupada -- whichever of us intrudes upon another out of folly shall live twelve years as a hermit in the forest' -- such is the pact you all made."

Here the naga maiden reveals her knowledge of the substance of the vow. It is telling that Ulupi knows precisely the terms of the pact: a sound argument rests on knowledge of the matter. And persuasion toward the good must be grounded in true understanding. Thus the scripture reveals Ulupi's knowledge; and upon this knowledge she will build her righteous argument.
