Vindru warns the sons of Pandu of Duryodhana's plot to kill them. The Pandava brothers move into the forest with their mother. Bhami marries Hidimbi (Rakshasa) after he kills her brother. They then had a son and Hidimbi left. In hiding the pandava brothers go on various adventures. The princes wanted to marry Draupadi. The daughter of Drupada. Karna tried to win Draupadi, but she said she did not want to marry him.
Draupadi then marries all five of the Pandava brothers. The Pandava brothers were then invited back to the country and they ruled the southwest part of it which was prosperous. Arjuna then goes into exile for a bit and has some adventures. He then had a child Iravat with the daughter of the king of nagas. Arjuna then continues on his adventures and marries a bunch of women and has kids with them.
Arjuna and Krishna help Igni burn a forest so he can be restored. Maya builds a palace for the Pandava brothers since Arjuna saved his life in the burning of the forest. Duryodhana was acting like a clown in the palace that was built and he became angry. Yudhishthira gambled everything away. Then the princes went away.
