He did succeed and God of Fire was pleased with his ritual so appear in front of King Drupada. God of Fire said, “I was pleased with your ritual, so now I will give you a boon and you can have whatever you want.” Hearing that King Drupada couldn’t hide his excitement and almost starting laughing and felt everything was going his way.
