Dhritarashtra sends the Pandavas and Kunti away. Then his
sons hire Purochana to build a fire trap for the house where the Pandavas are
staying. Someone warns them and they prepare a tunnel which will allow them to
escape, leaving six corpses in their place. Bhima sets the house on fire.
Purochana is killed and they escape through the tunnel. The are disguised as
Brahmins.
The Pandavas and Kunti live in a different village. They
send Bhima out to fight a demon. He uses no weapons, only his bare hands, and
still defeats the demon. Drupada begs Shiva for a son to defeat Drona. Shiva
appears in a dream and tells him to pour two cups of butter into the fire. One
for a son, one for a daughter. Dhirshtadyumna and Draupadi are born. Arjuna
wins an archery test and wins Draupadi. The pandavas are given the region of
Khandava to rule. They build the city of Indraprastha near the Khandava
forrest. Arjuna falls in love with Krishna’s sister and takes her to be his
wife.

The fire god Agni comes to Krishna and Arjuna with his mouth
smeared with butter. He wants to eat the forrest but the storm-god Indra
protects it with rain. They agree to help him. Maya builds a great palace for
the Pandavas. Duryodhana is fooled by
the illusion of the palace and they make fun of him. Then Duryodhana challenges
Yudhishthira to a game of dice, he accepts. There might be a war on the horizon….
