Bhima said he was able to smell oil and butter and he was suspecting someone wanted to burn them alive in that house. Yudhistira said maybe that was the reason Vidura had tried to warn him in the language of mlechhas.
Bhima said it was time to go back to Hastinapura. Yudhistira said that was not correct. It would spread amongst the people. Duryodhana would twist the story to show Pandavas in bad light. He would call for a war and we would be defeated, It was best to lie low and escape after a few days into the forests.
In Hastinapura, Vidura was wondering how to save the Pandavas. He caught hold of a trusted tunnel digger and instructed him.
As per the instructions, the digger went to Yudhistira and told him about the house and also said as per Vidura's instructions, he would be digging a tunnel.
Work started. A nice door was built and set at the mouth of the tunnel. From the outside, no one could make out that a tunnel was being dug there. In the day time, Pandavas would roam around in the jungle and go hunting. In the nights, they would work with the digger and help in the tunnel construction work.
For months Pandavas stayed there, and slowly Purochana started believing that the Pandavas suspected nothing.
One day they discovered that Purochana was planning to set fire the next day. The Pandavas decided to set fire to the house that very night. Kunti said she wanted to host a feast and feed the poor and the brahmanas. Along with others, there came a hunter woman and five sons. All had their fill and rested there in the palace.
