Janmajeya said - O Sage, your tale is wonderful. Please tell what happened after all left.
The sage said - Pandavas with Draupadi lived in the Kamya forest, at the pilgrim spot of Prabhas. Arjuna would hunt and Draupadi would cook that for all.
In Hastinapura, Duryodhana was ruling the combined kingdoms of Hastinapura and Indraprastha.
One day Shakuni said to Duryodhana - The land is blessed to have you as the king. You are surrounded by wealth and luxuries, All is good except there is no one to praise you. You need to show this off to your enemies. The Pandavas need to see you are happy.
Karna said What Shakuni had said was true and the Pandavas needed to be shown the wealth of the king. The Pandavas are residing at Prabhas in the guise of sages. We should visit them and show them our wealth. Let us go to visit Prabhas and bathe in the waters there.
Getting the families together with horses and elephant, Duryodhana started off for Prabhas. They did not disclose this to Bhishma and Drona as they were sure they would be stopped from venturing. A huge army went along with them. The women were happy to come along. This would be chance for them to meet Draupadi again.
Vidura came to know of this. He approached Duryodhana and gently said - I am happy that you are going on a pilgrimage and I will not stop you from that. It is a very beautiful place. Do go there. Do not pick up a fight with anyone there.
Duryodhana thanked Vidura and said he was taking his army along so he was not worried if a fight did take place.
Taking leave of Vidura, Duryodhana resumed his journey and reached the Kamya forest. Sanjaya wento to meet the Pandavas. He bowed down at the feet of all. Yudhistira asked him how things were and what the reason for the visit.
Sanjaya said Duryodhana wanted to visit Prabhas. Yudhistira asked Sanjaya to tell Duryodhana to conduct himself in a nice manner and go in peace.
