worry at all. Narada then proceeded to Hastinapura and met Duryodhana. He appraised
Duryodhana about the developments and asked him to help his cousins, Pandavas.
Duryodhana agreed. Krishna summoned Garuda. Then Narada arrived and told Krishna
that Gaya is with Pandavas.
Krishna asked Subhadra to request Arjuna to surrender Gaya. Arjuna refused. All
Yadavas proceeded to Dwaitavana to fight with Pandavas. A fierce war broke out
between Yadavas and Pandavas. Kauravas also fought against Yadavas. In the end

requested both to recall their weapons. Both agreed. Brahma asked Arjuna to hand over
Gaya to him. Then Brahma asked Arjuna to close his eyes. Brahma handed over Gaya to
Krishna. Krishna cut off Gaya's head. Brahma joined the head to the body and revived
Gaya.
Pandavas praised Krishna. All of them had food together. Kauravas were unhappy. Hali
(Balarama) and Hari returned to Dwaraka.

Krishna that a Gandharva called Gaya was proceeding on his horse to meet Brahma.

Gaya came to know about this. He prayed Brahma to save him. Brahma told Gaya that he
is helpless in this case. Gaya prayed Siva. Siva also indicated his helplessness.
Knowing that his death is certain, Gaya fell down on the way. On the way, Narada met
Gaya and heard his plight. Narada asked Gaya to go to Dwaitavana and meet Arjuna.
Narada advised him to disclose the matter only after Arjuna vows to save him.
Accordingly Gaya met Arjuna. Arjuna gave his word to save him. Gaya disclosed that
Krishna has vowed to kill him. Arjuna informed the matter to son of Dharma. The son of
Dharma was worried.
Yadavas found out that Gaya was in Dwaitavana with Pandavas. Krishna asked Uddhava
to meet the son of Dharma and ask him to surrender Gaya. The son of Dharma refused.
Then Krishna asked his sister Subhadra to request her husband Arjuna to surrender Gaya
to Krishna. Arjuna refused to do so. Krishna proceeded to attack Pandavas. Narada
