Arjuna and Krishna, alighting on the chariots started their vigil. While the fire burnt, Arjuna and Kirshna tried to prevent the forest creatures from escaping. Seeing this Indra started rainfall. Heavy showers started pouring.
Invoking divine weapons, Arjuna prevented the rain from touching the ground. Takshaka was not in the forest at that time, but his son Aswasena was. He tried to escape but Arjuna's arrows followed him. Indra suddenly created a storm, which caused Arjuna to be temporarily blinded and taking that chance, Aswasena escaped. From the sky, Indra hurled thunderbolts, but Arjuna was able to combat all. Clouds created by Indra were dispelled by Arjuna's wind weapons. All celestial weapons were cut down by Arjuna and Kirshna. Indra, though deeply pleased with Arjuna's skills, started showering stones on the forest. Arjuna sent forth arrows that dispelled that. Trees hurled by Indra were cut down. A voice in the heaven was then heard that said the Khandava and its residents were destined to die. Indra blessed Arjuna and Krishna and left.
Krishna saw an asura trying to flee. The asura, trying to escape from Krishna, appealed to Arjuna for help. Arjuna saved him. In the end, Aswasena, Maya and four birds called Sarngakas were only that escaped the forest.
There was once a rishi named Mandapala. When he died, he was given no place in heaven as he had no offspring. He was asked to go and have children in a short time. He took the form of a bird called Sarngaka had children with another bird. He had four sons. HE appealed to Agni to save his young children in the forest, which Agni did and these birds were saved.
Having been granted life, Maya, the asura wanted to know how he could help Arjuna. He said he wanted to do something; he also told Arjuna, that he was an architect, no less then the celestial architect, Vishwakarma. Krishna then told him to build a palace like that no one had seen before, with a hall that was so grand, that would be unequaled in grandeur.
Glad, he began building a palace having no equal. Having worshiped the gods, land of the site was formalized and work started.
