This section contains six chapters. Later, after some time, Krishna and Arjuna, accompanied by some friends,went to the banks of Yamuna during the summer days. While wandering there, both of them reached a very beautiful place. That was near the Khandava forest. Then Agni, the Fire god approached them. He told them that he was suffering from stomach disorder owing to his drinking the ghee that was continuously poured in the hundred year sacrifice performed by king Swetaki. Burning of Khandava was the only remedy for that. He requested them to guard him from Indra, while he was engaged in setting fire to the forest. They agreed to it.Then Agni gifted Arjuna with the bow called Gandiva and an inexhaustible quiver. He offered the Sudarsana disc and the mace Kaumodaki to Krishna.
