Start of life in disguise

The Pandavas had completed twelve years of exile in various forests. They had to spend another year in disguise, without revealing their identity. Duryodhana was sure to send spies to all the kingdoms near and far to look for the Pandavas in every nook and corner. If they were discovered, the Pandavas would have to spend another twelve years in exile and yet another year incognito.
Where could they live in complete secrecy? Yudhishthira discussed various options with his brothers. The Matsya kingdom ruled by king Virata was found to be the best option for them.
We shall start the episode after going through a small story from the earlier book in www.kunjunny.blogspot.com
