Hare Krishna to all the devotees
All glories to srila Prabhupada
my father was very affectionate toward me. When he understood that I was attracted to Kṛṣṇa, he devised a plan like that devised by your father: during the svayaṁvara, the prospective bridegrooms had to pierce the eyes of a fish with their arrows. The difference between the competition in your svayaṁvara and mine was that in yours the fish was hanging openly on the ceiling, in clear view, but in mine the fish was covered and could be seen only by its reflection in a pot of water. That was the special feature of my svayaṁvara.
it was told by Sri Lakshmana to draupadi.
Here she says that svayamar of draupadi has the fish hanging in clear whereas I have seen and heard in Mahabharata that fish would be seen in pot and only half the time, as she said was in hers!
How is this possible, that it is written here? Can you please explain it to me?
It is from Krishna book , chapter name- draupadi meets queens of lord Krishna
