Pandavas performed [[Rajasuya]] yaga. According to this, they have to either defeat or make alliance with other kingdoms. When Bhima came to Anga Kingdom, Karna didn't accept to make alliance due to which a terrific war took place between Bhima & Karna. Each used some of their prominent weapons on the other. At last Bhima defeated Karna but failed to kill because of Karna's ''Kavacha'' and ''Kundala''.<ref>{{Cite web |translator=Kisari Mohan Ganguli |url=https://www.sacred-texts.com/hin/m02/m02029.htm|title=The Mahabharata, Book 2: Sabha Parva: Jarasandhta-badha Parva: Section XXIX|website=Internet Sacred Text Archive |access-date=2018-01-15}}</ref> | Pandavas performed [[Rajasuya]] yaga.

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. Chitrasena rejected Arjuna's request and asked him to fight with him in order to free Kauravas and Karna. Thus a battle took place. Arjuna used Shabdavedi astra and captured Chitrasena. Arjuna then released his cousins and his rival. | During the exile of the Pandavas, Duryodhana and his allies were captured by [[Ghoshayatra|Chitrasena]], a [[Gandharva]] king, for their misdeeds.
