Bhima, wanting to sound lighthearted, cried from the door- step, "Mother, come out, see what Arjuna w has brought today." Without coming out, Kunthi answered from the kitchen, "Very well, share it among yourselves." ."Oh!" exclaimed Bhima. "Oh! Oh!" cried everyone, and the loudest exclamation was from Arjuna, who had won the bride.The mother came out to see why there was such an uproar and cried, "Oh! Who is this you have won, Arjuna?"
