Explanation

During the Pandavas' exile in the forest, Jayadratha (the king of Sindhu and husband of Duryodhana's sister Dushala) saw Draupadi alone and attempted to abduct her. The Pandavas, led by Bhima, pursued and captured him. He was spared only at Draupadi's intervention and Yudhishthira's mercy.
