#5 Virata Parvan

The Virata Parva is the fourth book of the Mahabharata. It narrates the final year of the Pandavas’ exile, during which they must live incognito in King Virata’s court. Each Pandava (and Draupadi) disguises themselves and takes on a secret role in the kingdom. The parva ends with their identities being revealed after they help Virata defeat the Kauravas in battle, successfully completing their 13-year exile.
