Vaisampayana said, "Then the Gandharvas, adorned with golden garlands and skilled in heavenly weapons, unleashed their fiery arrows and surrounded the Pandavas from all sides. The sons of Pandu were only four against thousands of Gandharvas, making the ensuing battle truly remarkable. Just as the chariots of Karna and Duryodhana had been shattered by the Gandharvas before, so too did they attempt to break the chariots of the four heroes. However, these brave warriors began to fend off the Gandharvas, shooting countless arrows at the relentless attackers. The powerful sky warriors, overwhelmed by this barrage of arrows, couldn’t even approach the sons of Pandu. Then Arjuna, filled with anger, readied his divine weapons to strike back at the fierce Gandharvas. In that clash, the mighty Arjuna, wielding his Agneya weapon, sent countless Gandharvas to Yama’s realm. Bhima, the greatest warrior, also killed hundreds of Gandharvas with his sharp arrows. The sons of Madri, too, fought fiercely, taking down hundreds of Gandharvas. As these powerful warriors slaughtered the Gandharvas with their celestial arms, the remaining foes fled to the skies, carrying away the sons of Dhritarashtra.". But Dhananjaya, the son of Kunti, saw them rising into the sky and quickly surrounded them with a wide net of arrows. Trapped within that arrow-filled net like birds in a cage, they hurled maces, darts, and swords at Arjuna in their fury. When the Gandharvas were frightened by Kunti's son, Chitrasena charged at Dhananjaya with a mace in hand. As the king of the Gandharvas swooped down on Arjuna with his mace, the latter skillfully shattered it into seven pieces with his arrows. Seeing his mace destroyed by the swift Arjuna, Chitrasena used his skills to obscure himself from the Pandava's view and continued to fight. However, Arjuna skillfully countered all the celestial weapons thrown at him by the Gandharvas with his own divine armaments. Realizing he was being thwarted by the renowned Arjuna, the chief of the Gandharvas vanished from sight using his illusory powers. Observing that his hidden attacker was striking at him, Arjuna unleashed his own celestial weapon imbued with powerful incantations (mantras). Filled with anger, the multi-faceted Dhananjaya prevented his enemy's escape using his weapon called Sabda-veda. As the renowned Arjuna attacked with those weapons, the king of the Gandharvas revealed himself to him. Chitrasena declared, 'Look, I am your friend fighting alongside you!' When Arjuna saw his friend Chitrasena weary from battle and wounded, he lowered his weapons. The other sons of Pandu, seeing Arjuna do so, also stopped their swift horses and held back their weapons. Chitrasena, Bhima, Arjuna, and the twins then took a moment to check on each other’s well-being while seated on their chariots. |

Vaisampayana said, "Arjuna spoke, 'O Chitrasena, if you want to please me, let Suyodhana go free, at the order of our just king Yudhishthira, for he is our brother!' Chitrasena replied, 'This sinful man is full of pride and does not deserve freedom. O Dhananjaya, he has wronged both king Yudhishthira and Krishna. Yudhishthira, the son of Kunti, still does not know the reason for this man’s presence. So, let the king decide what to do once he knows the truth!' Vaisampayana continued, 'After this, they all approached king Yudhishthira the just. They informed him of all Duryodhana's actions. And Ajatasatru, after hearing what the Gandharvas said, released all the Kauravas and praised the Gandharvas. The king said, 'We are fortunate that although you are strong, you did not kill the wicked son of Dhritarashtra along with his advisors and kin. This kindness by the Gandharvas has honored my family. I am pleased to see you all. Tell me what I can do for you, and once your desires are fulfilled, return to where you came from!'' "After the wise son of Pandu spoke, the Gandharvas were delighted and left with the Apsaras. The Pandavas, having rescued their relatives and the royal ladies, felt a sense of accomplishment in defeating the Gandharva army. The mighty warriors, respected by the Kurus, shone brightly like flames in a sacrificial area. Yudhishthira then spoke affectionately to the liberated Duryodhana, saying, 'My dear, don't act so recklessly again. A foolish person rarely finds happiness. O son of the Kuru lineage, may you find peace with your brothers. Return to your kingdom as you wish, without succumbing to despair or gloom!' Vaisampayana continued, 'After being dismissed by Yudhishthira, king Duryodhana respectfully saluted him, feeling ashamed and heartbroken, and left for his capital, like one without purpose. Once Duryodhana had gone, the brave Yudhishthira, son of Kunti, along with his brothers, received reverence from the Brahmanas, who, like celestials surrounding Sakra, were endowed with ascetic wealth. They began to live happily in the woods of Dwaita.' Vaisampayana said, "O king, the virtuous Pandavas quickly set off, joined by the Brahmanas and their companions, followed by Indrasena and other attendants. As they walked along well-trodden paths with ample food and fresh water, they finally arrived at the sacred sanctuary of Kamyaka, revered for its spiritual power. Just as righteous souls ascend to the heavens, those leaders of the Bharata lineage, the Kauravas, along with the esteemed Brahmanas, entered that forest." |

Vaisampayana said, "One day, brave warriors, who had defeated many foes, wandered in search of game to feed the Brahmanas with them, leaving Draupadi alone at the hermitage, with the permission of the great ascetic Trinavindu, radiating with spiritual presence, and of their mentor Dhaumya. Meanwhile, the renowned king of Sindhu, son of Vriddhakshatra, was heading to the kingdom of Salwa for marriage, dressed in his finest royal clothes and accompanied by many princes. The prince paused in the Kamyaka woods, where he encountered the beautiful Draupadi, esteemed wife of the Pandavas, standing at the entrance of the hermitage. She looked majestic in her beauty, casting a glow around her like lightning striking through dark clouds. Those who beheld her wondered, 'Is she a celestial nymph, a divine daughter, or a heavenly illusion?' Captivated by her flawless beauty, they stood in awe. King Jayadratha of Sindhu, son of Vriddhakshatra, overwhelmed by her perfection, was consumed by ill intentions." Filled with desire, he addressed the prince named Kotikasya, saying, 'Who is this lady of perfect beauty? Is she human? I need not marry if I can take her, this exquisitely lovely being. I will return to my home with her, sir, and find out who she is, where she comes from, and why such a delicate creature is in this thorny forest. Will this charming woman, with her slender waist, beautiful teeth, and large eyes, accept me as her lord? I would consider myself fortunate if I could win her hand. Go, Kotikasya, and find out who her husband is.' With this request, Kotikasya, adorned with earrings, leapt from his chariot and approached her like a jackal nearing a tigress, and spoke to her these words." |
