## Chapter Forty-Six
1. The Pandavas, who were like mountains in their fortitude and respect for their kin, were enjoying their time in the city of Hastinapur.
2. The five Pandavas were growing in power and prosperity every day, and seeing this, the Kauravas were once again agitated and disturbed.
3. Following Shakuni's advice, Duryodhana quickly defeated Yudhishthira in a game of dice. Having won, Duryodhana, along with his younger brothers, addressed Yudhishthira, saying, "O Yudhishthira, you are a man of truth, your promises are never false. Therefore, you must abide by your promise and leave this place. You must remain hidden where your name cannot be heard."
4. Though Bhima and the other brothers were angered by Duryodhana's words, Yudhishthira calmed them down and left Hastinapur, abandoning all his possessions, for a period of twelve years.
5. Draupadi, filled with love and joy, followed Arjuna, just as the moonbeams follow the moon.
6. Then, these valiant men, filled with courage and always ready to help each other, reached the beautiful forest of Kalajala.
7. At that time, a celestial being named Sutara, son of Prakirnaka Suri, was playing in the forest, having come from the city of Asurodgita.
8. He was skilled in the art of Shavari and was adorned in the attire of a Kirata. He was enjoying himself with his wife, Kusumavali.
9. His wife was also dressed as a Kirata, and they were playing together as they pleased. Arjuna, the archer, saw this celestial being, also an archer.
10. As soon as they saw each other unexpectedly, a fierce battle erupted between them, a battle where the directions were covered with divine arrows.
11. Then, a hand-to-hand combat ensued, and Arjuna, with his strong fist, struck the powerful celestial being on his chest.
