Pandavas find Duryodhana

The sage said to Janmajeya -

Duryodhana hid in the lake and the Pandavas kept looking for him. Not finding him, they returned to their camp. Yudhistira was not satisfied. If Duryodhana had escaped, he would come back again and fight for the kingdom.

At the lake the three warriors called out to Duryodhana to come out and fight and not run away. Ahwatthama promised that he would make a massacre of the Pandavas.

Duryodhana said Wait for a day. We will start tomorrow.

A hunter in the forest went to the lake to drink water and heard the conversation. He reported back to Yudhistira about the whereabouts of Duryodhana. Along with Krishna and an army, the Pandavas went where Duryodhana was.

Hearing the noise of the approaching army, the Kuru warriors asked Duryodhana what to do.

Duryodhana said he would hide under the water and wait for the night. In the night they would defeat the Pandavas. Hearing this the three warriors and hid themselves while Duryodhana went and hid in the water.

At the shores of the lake, Yudhistira asked Krishna how was Duryodhana hiding under the water. Krishna said Duryodhana knew mantras to control his breath.

Krishna asked the Pandavas to insult Duryodhana. He would not be able to stand that and would come out.
