> the prapatti yoga, He first tells him about it and later
> warns him not to reveal to one who is not worthy ('idam

> Bhattar replied "Draupadi, who was dear to Him, had spread

> to do, put Arjuna in the front - like putting the broom in
> the middle of the house from its spot in the corner - and
> started the war. When Arjuna hesitated, He revealed the

> realizing the greatness of its meaning and the fact that He
> had distributed a great thing in front of one and all, He
> told Arjuna to guard it".
