Weapons are tied back

Arjuna and Uttar returned to the Shami tree and tied up the weapons and kept it back. Arjuna took the form of an eunuch and wore his ornaments and braided his hair.
He said to Uttar - Please do not tell anyone that the Pandavas are in your court. If your father askes, tell him you won the battle fighting yourself.
Uttar said How is this possible? How can I take credit for something you did?I will tell my father in a way that your identity is not disclosed?
Arjuna said I will come to the court in the evening.

Uttar asked a messenger to say that was returning.

    1. This battle is an important one in Mahabharata. After this battle, the term of the exile gets over and the Pandavas demand their kingdom back. That becomes Udyog Parva. Udyog by definition means Industry but there is another meaning - Enterprise. This next Parva talks about the planning phase, before the battle kicks off.
