	During the exile of the Pandavas, Duryodhana and his allies were captured by [[Ghoshayatra\|Chitrasena]], a [[Gandharva]] king, for their misdeeds. Karna tried run away from battle-field after getting defeated by Chitrasena but was captured.<ref>{{Cite web\|url=http://sacred-texts.com/hin/m03/m03239.htm\|title=Karna fled from Chitrasena}}</ref> On knowing this, [[Yudhishtira]] asked [[Arjuna]] to free them since this would be a humiliation to Hastinapura. Arjuna followed his eldest brother's order and first requested [[Chitrasena]] to release [[Kauravas]] and Karna.
