Janmajeya asked the sage - Arjuna and Krishna had helped Maya escape. How did Maya repay this?
The sage said :
Maya said to Krishna. You saved me from my death. My live is yours now. Please let me know what I can do for you.
Krishna said if you want to help, please construct an assembly hall for Yudhistira.
Maya constructed an assembly hall, the likes of which one was not visible in the three worlds.
Krishna then decided to take leave and return to Dwaraka. He took leave of Kunti and then went to Subhadra. He told her to take care of Kunti and the Pandavas and hold no ill will towards Draupadi. He then went to Draupadi and took leave of her.
He went and greeted Yudhistira and the priest Dhumya and asked for their permission to leave.
With teary eyes they bid him farewell. Krishna then took leave of the other Pandavas and got his chariot ready and left for Dwaraka.
After Krishna left, Maya approached Arjuna. He said he would be going to the Mainaka mountain, north of Kailasha. A demon called Vrishaparva had once built a grand palace there using rare gems. Along with that, there was a wonderful mace equal to that given to Krishna. Bhima deserved that. There was a wonderful conch shell there called Devadutta. He said he would get that for Arjuna. He asked for Arjuna's permission.
Arjuna said, if that was what he wanted to do, he was welcome. Maya went to the mountain and came back with a lot of wealth. He gave the conch shell to Arjuna and the mace to Bhima. He got wonderful crowns for the Pandavas. He remodeled the palace of Indraprastha using pillar of crystal and rare gems. Wonderful gardens were created with rare trees, with bees flying around the flowers.
One walking around walked carefully as they were not sure whether they were on high ground or low ground, on water or on land.
In a month Maya completed the construction and every thing was ready. Brahmanas and priests were invited for the grand opening of the same.
Pandavas with their well wishers and brahmanas started ruling from the new assembly hall in Indraprastha.
