Vaisampayana said, --'Then, in front of Vasudeva, Maya Danava, having honored Arjuna, spoke to him with joined hands and friendly words, --'O son of Kunti, you have saved me from the rushing Krishna and from fire that wished to consume me. Please tell me what I can do for you.' Arjuna replied, --'O great Asura, you have already done enough by making this offer. You are blessed. Go wherever you wish. Just be kind and amicable towards me, as we are towards you!' 'Maya said, --'O best among men, your words reflect your greatness, O esteemed one. But O Bharata, I genuinely wish to do something for you. I am a skilled artist, a Viswakarma among the Danavas. O son of Pandu, I wish to contribute something for you.' Arjuna responded, --'O virtuous one, you think of yourself as saved by me from certain death. Even if that's true, I can't force you to do anything for me. However, O Danava, I do not want to hinder your wishes. Do something for Krishna instead. That will be a fitting way to repay my help to you.' Then, O bull of the Bharata lineage, prompted by Maya, Vasudeva pondered briefly on what he should request Maya to create. Krishna having reflected in his heart, commanded Maya, “Build a great city for the king of the Kurus, resembling Mahendrapura (the city of Indra), and name it Indraprastha, after Indra 'Construct a grand meeting hall as you wish, if, O son of Diti, greatest of all craftsmen, you wish to do good for the just Yudhishthira. Indeed, create a palace that no mortal can replicate, even after careful inspection, while within its walls. And, O Maya, build a mansion where we can witness a blend of divine, asuric, and human artistry.' Vaisampayana continued, 'Hearing these words, Maya felt thrilled. Krishna and Partha (Arjuna), having shared everything with King Yudhishthira, introduced Maya to him. Yudhishthira welcomed Maya with respect, offering him due honour. And, O Bharata, Maya accepted this honour, appreciating it deeply. O king of the Bharata lineage, after resting for a moment, Maya began to thoughtfully plan the creation of a city and palace for the illustrious sons of Pandu.' |

"Maya went towards Mount Maināka, in the north-eastern direction. He gathered all the crystal building materials for the assembly hall that had once belonged to King Vṛṣaparvan." Bringing them, the Asura constructed therewith a peerless palace, which was of great beauty and of celestial make, composed entirely of gems and precious stones, and celebrated throughout the three worlds. He gave unto Bhimasena that best of clubs, and unto Arjuna the most excellent conch-shell at whose sound all creatures trembled in awe. And the palace that Maya built consisted of columns of gold, and occupied, O monarch, an area of 2,200 metres (दश किष्कुसहस्राणि समन्तादायताभवत्). The palace, possessing an exceedingly beautiful form, like unto that of Agni or Suryya, or Soma, shone in great splendour, and by its brilliance seemed to darken even the bright rays of the sun. And with the effulgence it exhibited, which was a mixture of both celestial and terrestrial light, it looked as if it was on fire. Like unto a mass of new clouds conspicuous in the sky, the palace rose up coming into view of all. Indeed, the palace that the dexterous Maya built was so wide, delightful, and refreshing, and composed of such excellent materials, and furnished with such golden walls and archways, and adorned with so many varied pictures, and was withal so rich. And, Maya having constructed such a palatial hall within fourteen months, reported its completion unto Yudhishthira." Vaisampayana said, "Then the great leader, King Yudhishthira, entered the grand palace hall after feeding ten thousand Brahmins with rich dishes of milk and rice, blended with clarified butter and honey, along with fruits, roots, pork, and venison. The king delighted those esteemed Brahmins, who had travelled from various lands, with food seasoned with sesame and accompanied by vegetables, rice mixed with clarified butter, and an array of meats—indeed, a variety of other dishes, countless treats fit for savouring, and numerous drinks, along with new robes and fine clothes, and beautiful floral garlands. The king also gifted each Brahmin a thousand cows. And, O Bharata, the joyful voices of the satisfied Brahmins exclaimed, 'What a blessed day this is!' so loudly that it seemed to reach the heavens. When the Kuru king entered the royal hall, having worshipped the gods with different kinds of music and luxurious perfumes, athletic performers, actors, fighters, singers, and poets began to honour that illustrious son of Dharma by showcasing their talents. Thus, celebrating his entrance into the palace, Yudhishthira and his brothers revelled within that hall like Indra himself in heaven." |

There, with Krishna leading them, the illustrious Pandavas arrived and transformed the area into a paradise. These mighty warriors, with Dwaipayana's help, chose a sacred and favourable site, performed propitiatory ceremonies, and measured out land for their city.' Surrounded by a vast trench as wide as the sea and tall walls that reached up to the heavens, bright as fluffy clouds or moonlight, that grand city shone brilliantly, resembling Bhogavati, the capital of the underworld, adorned by the Nagas. It featured magnificent mansions and numerous gates, each designed with panels like the wings of Garuda. The gateways towered like clouds, as tall as the Mandara mountains. Filled with countless mansions, the city resembled Amaravati and was named Indraprastha, echoing Indra's city. In a charming and prosperous area, the palace of the Pandavas rose, filled with every kind of treasure and resembling Kubera's own residence. It appeared like a storm cloud ready to burst with lightning. Once the city was established, many learned Brahmanas, skilled in all Vedas and languages, arrived wanting to settle there. Numerous merchants also came from all directions, eager to seek their fortunes. The happiness of the Pandavas grew daily, thriving in that vast kingdom filled with righteous souls. Thanks to the noble conduct of Bhishma and King Dhritarashtra towards them, the Pandavas made their home in Khandavaprastha. With those five mighty warriors, each as powerful as Indra, that great city shimmered like Bhogavati adorned by the Nagas. After establishing the Pandavas, the brave Krishna, with their consent, returned to Dwaravati with Balarama. |
