Hidimba Draupadi quarrel

Hearing the news of the sacrifice, Drupada along with Dhristadyumna and Shikhandi started for the sacrifice. His daughter would become an empress. He told many gifts along with him. Nakula came and greeted Drupada. The gifts were handed over to Duryodhana who would be handling those. Drupada and kings accompanying him went inside.
Ghatotkacha, son of Hidimba, hearing the news of the sacrifice, Riding on a white elephant along with many rakshasas and carrying many gifts, he started for Indraprastha. Sahadeva told Yudhistira that Ghatotkacha along with his mother had come.
Hidimba went where the other women were while Ghatotkacha went where Yudhistira was sitting.
Hidimba went and greeted Kunti and cleverly avoided Draupadi. This offended Draupadi who said this was in Hidimba's character. This was someone who had married the killer of her brother.
Hidimba was angry. She said - Draupadi, your father was bound and captured by Arjuna and he gave his daughter away to the same Arjuna. My brother was evil and he deserved death. Also, I was married to Bhima long before you came in the life of the Pandavas. Your sons have no identity while my son is well known and has control over the beings of the forest.

Draupadi angry said I curse your son to die in the hand of Karna. Hidimba said You cursed my son for no reason. You will loose all your sons. My son will die in battle but your sons will be murdered.

Kunti seeing things going out of control, went to intervene.
