Jatāyu’s Resistance, Sītā’s Traces, Kabandha’s Release, and the Path to Sugrīva (Āraṇyaka-parva 263)

Vaiśampāyana said: “Then you should go there—if you are inclined to show me favor.” The request implies a deliberate timing: approach when Draupadī, Kṛṣṇā, the supremely beautiful, renowned, and gentle princess, has fed the Brāhmaṇas and her five husbands, and after eating herself is seated at ease in rest—so that the visit accords with propriety and the household’s duties are complete.
