Vaishampayana said: 'While he spoke this again and again among the women, Panchali could not bear the praising of Bibhatsu. Then the ascetic woman came up to him from the midst of the women and, as though abashed, quietly said: "That youth, like a great elephant, most pleasing to look upon, known as Brihannada, was the charioteer of Partha. He was the pupil of that great-souled hero of the bow; I saw him before, when I lived among the Pandavas. When the Fire was burning the great forest of Khandava, it was he who held the best of Arjuna's horses. With that charioteer, Partha conquered all beings in every direction at Khandavaprastha; there is no charioteer like him. Here is this girl with lovely hips, your younger sister, hero; her word he will, without doubt, carry out. If he becomes your charioteer, you will surely conquer all the Kurus, take the cows, and your return is certain."'
