Janmajeya said What happened in the sacrifice? Where did Arjuna go along with the horse? Whom did he fight with?
The sage said - Listening to the story of the sacrifice removes all sins. Listen to me while I tell you more.
Vyasa said to Yudhistira Get the sages and start the sacrifice. Yudhistira asked Bhima to do that. Bhima went fetched the sages who all came and took their seats.
In the place where the sacrifice would take place, an eighty feet deep pit was dug. It was a hundred feet in circumference. As per the scriptures, the pit was decorated and pillars were erected at corners. Wearing clean clothes, Yudhistira and Draupadi sat around the pit. Chanting of the Vedas began. Yudhistira gave gifts to all the invited guests. The horse was fetched and decorated. The name tag of Yudhistira was added on. Along with the women of the household, Kunti and Gandhari worshiped the horse.
Yudhistira then called Arjuna. He said - I will be sit in prayer here. Go with the horse and guard it. Make sure it does not get stolen. Only Nakula will stay with me. Take whoever you need.
Arjuna said I do not need anyone. With the blessings of Krishna, I will be back safe, along with the horse.
Arjuna started.
Krishna called Bhima, Pradyumna, Satyaki and Kritavarma and asked them to go along with Arjuna.
Along with them, Yuvanashwa, Anusalva, Subeg and Vrishketu also accompanied Arjuna.
The horse was let free. It went southwards.
