Maya Daanav Builds the Hall for Yudhishthir.

When Krishn and Arjun were returning to their camp, they heard Maya saying - "I am Maya Daanav, the architect of Asur. You saved my life, I want to do something for you in return." Arjun politely said - "I am glad that I could do this to you, but this is my principle that I don't take anything in return doing good to anybody." Maya Daanav again requested to do something for him. Then Arjun said - "OK, I do not want anything for myself, but just to please you do something which pleases Krishn. 

Krishn, the incarnation of Vishnu, was born only to establish Dharm on the complaint of Prithvi that she could bear no more the A-Dharm. From His mind's eye He could see the Kurukshetra full of kings' dead bodies, He remembered the promise to His dear attendants Jaya and Vijaya. They had been born on Earth first as Hiranyaaksh and Hiranyakashyap, He killed them by assuming Varaah Avataar and Nrasinh Avataar (see them under "Avataar"). Then they were born as Raavan and Kumbhkarn. He killed them by assuming Raam's Avataar. Now they were in their final life as Shishupaal and Dantvakra. He had to release them too from this mortal life bondage. So He decided to begin the act of destruction from here.

He said - "You say that you are a great architect. Yudhishthir is very dear to me. You build a court for him, and this royal court must be unique." They took him along with them to Hastinaapur, introduced to Paandav and on an auspicious day he started the work on an pre-approved plan for the court. Later it was called Maya Sabhaa (Sabhaa means court).

Then Krishn wanted to go Dwaarakaa, but Yudhishthir always got sad hearing this. Krishn assured Yudhishthir that He would always be there whenever they would call Him. He took leave from Kuntee, brothers, Draupadee, Subhadraa and ascended His chariot. Yudhishthir moved Daaruk from charioteer's place and he himself drove Krishn's chariot for a while. Arjun and Bheem stood on either side of Krishn with Chanwar, and Nakul and Sahadev held the umbrella. When they reached the outskirts of the city, Paandav came back to Indraprasth with tears in their eyes. This was their usual routine whenever Krishn used to leave Hastinaapur.

Maya was busy in building the court. He said to Arjun - "Let me bring some precious gems from a lake called Bindusar, near the mountains of Kailaash and Mainaak. I buried them there long time ago." He gave his Gadaa to Bheem and his Devadatt conch to Arjun. Bindusar is the lake from where Gangaa comes out drop by drop that is by it is called Bindusar. From that lake she flowed in seven streams, three streams flowed towards the east, three streams flowed towards the west, and the seventh stream followed Bhageerath. It took him 14 months to build the court. It was better than Sudharm - Indra's court. In its gardens flowers used to bloom without season. It was built so cleverly that one could see only the glow of gems, not the gems themselves unless somebody really tried hard to see them.

Maya was ready to depart, he gave a chariot also to Arjun and said - "Your chariot is as powerful as of Agni and Soorya. You have the banner marked by monkey (Hanumaan Jee), so you will be called Kapidhwaj hereafter. Because you have white horses, you will be called Shwetvaahan. Yudhishthir gave Maya many precious gifts and bade farewell to him.

On an auspicious day Paandav entered the court. People came to see it from all over the world - Rishi, all kings, except the sons of Dhritraashtra. Some young princes remained behind to learn archery from Arjun, one of them was Saatyaki (his other name was Yuyudhaan), He was a cousin of Krishn. Arjun's old friend Chitrasen also stayed behind with them.

Subhdraa had one son, named Abhimanyu; and Draupadee had five sons. one from each of the five Paandav. Prativindhya from Yudhishthir, Shrutsom from Bheem, Shrutkarman from Arjun, Shataaneek from Nakul and Shrutsen from Sahadev. Kuntee was now sure that her sons were now well-established. In fact there are some landmarks in the life of everybody which mark a change. In the same way, Paandav also had some landmarks in their lives - coming of Draupadee, coming of Krishn and the coming of Naarad now.
