Duryodhana was nettled at this presump- tion and directed his men to turn the princelet out and put up the tents. The attendants returned to the lake and tried to carry out their orders but found the gandharvas too many for them and had to retreat in precipitation.

When Duryodhana came to know of this, he grew very angry and with a large army marched to destroy the audaciousenemies who had dared to resist his pleasure.A great fight ensued between thegandharvas and Duryodhana's army.

At first the fight went in favour of the Kauravas, but the tables were quickly turned when Chitrasena, the king of the gandharvas, rallied his troops and began using his magic weapons.
