Subhadraa Meets Draupadee

Some people informed Dwaarakaa people that Arjun had abducted Subhadraa, so all returned to the city of Dwaarakaa. Balaraam was very angry with Krishn, he looked at Him and said - "This must be your doing, why did you allow this to happen." Krishn said innocently - "In fact I warned you about this before, even in the beginning. I knew that some day it would happen. In fact it is your doing." Balaraam said - "We can still go to catch him. I will destroy him and the entire Indraprasth city."

Krishn said in a very calm and polite voice - "Don't be so angry, Daaoo. Because if you have made up your mind to destroy them, nothing can save them, but it is not right that you should be so angry. See what happened. It looks like that Subhadraa went with Arjun herself and he is only Arjun, nobody else, with whom she has gone. He is our dear cousin. Let us make peace with him instead of being angry." Balaraam was convinced with His argument. They went to bring them back, but by then they had gone too far. So they had to wait until Arjun reached Indraprasth, then they would go and marry Subhadraa to him.

Arjun was near the gate of the city. Now Subhadraa was to be introduced to Draupadee. She was not Uloopee or Chitraangadaa to whom he would have left there only. She was Krishn's sister, she has to be properly treated. So "How to introduce her to Draupadee?" thinking Arjun came to Indraprasth. He asked help from his brothers but all of them showed their inability. Then he remembered Krishn's words and he sent Subhadraa alone to introduce herself to Draupadee. Subhadraa wore a dress of a milkmaid and introduced herself as Krishn's younger sister, then Draupadee accepted her as her own sister. Later Arjun told her that he wishes to marry her. A few days later Krishn and Balaraam came with thousands of precious gifts and married Subhadraa to Arjun. After that Balaraam went away but Krishn stayed back with Paandav. This marriage of Arjun to Subhadraa, was an important event of Mahaabhaarat, because it strengthened the life line of Paandav.

Khaandav Van Dahan

Now remained only Naag Vansh and Asur Vansh in Khaandavprasth, so with the help of Agni Dev that problem was also solved. Once Agni Dev came to Arjun in disguise of a Braahman and expressed the desire to have some food. Arjun tried to give him some food then he showed his real form and asked him to burn Khaandav Van, so Arjun burned Khaandav Van for him and satisfied him. There lived a Raakshas Maya Daanav. Arjun saved his life from this Khaandav Van fire, so to show his gratitude he built a royal court which was unique in Tri-Lok. He brought Vrishparvaa's Devadatt named conch and a glorious Gadaa for Bheem also.
