Then the lotus-eyed queen bore that child in her womb. Drupada, the mighty-armed, out of love for the son he awaited, tenderly cared for his beloved wife, O descendant of Kuru. Then to the childless King Drupada, lord of the earth, a daughter of surpassing beauty was born, O king. But the renowned wife of the childless King Drupada proclaimed: 'A son has been born to me.' Then King Drupada, while the child was kept concealed, had all the rites due a son performed as for a son. And the queen of Drupada, with all diligence, kept this secret, affirming: 'This is a son.' No one in the city knew her true nature, save the son of Prishata himself.

This chapter shows how Amba's vow begins to enter history through the house of Drupada. Shiva does not overturn the world's order by an instant miracle, but grants a destiny that unfolds gradually: the child is born a daughter, yet destined to become a man and the instrument of Bhishma's death. Drupada and his wife act out of faith in the god's word, and so they conceal the child's sex and perform the rites due a son. For Bhishma this is not merely a family secret of the Panchalas: he sees in it the continuation of Amba's austerity and the working of a destiny that no human means can turn aside.
