Duryodhana bound by Chitrasen

The Gandharva then attacked Duryodhana. Duryodhana had to take care of the women travelling with him and also fight along side. Using a weapon, Chitrasen bound Duryodhana. Putting the bound Duryodhana along with the women in his chariot, Chitrasen started driving away. The women started shouting out for help. Someone of them started cursing Duryodhana, saying all this was happening because of the fight he had picked up with the Pandavas.
Not seeing any way out, Duryodhana's wife asked a soldier to somehow run from there and trace out the Pandavas and seek their help. She said she was aware that her husband had done many bad deeds and there was a possibility that Pandavas could refuse to help. If that was so, then she was prepared to consume poison and die.
The soldier rushed and soon was able to find the Pandavas sitting with sages. The soldier said he had come for help. In a war with Chitrasen, Karna, Dushasana and Salva had fled the battlefield. Duryodhana had been bound and captured and was being taken away, along with the women of the royal household. Seeing no other way, Duryodhana's wife had asked him to seek help from the Pandavas.

Hearing this, Yudhistira was hurt. He asked Arjuna to go and help Duryodhana and rescue him.
