Purochana

With the Pandavas sent away to Varanavata, Duryodhana sees his chance. He summons his most trusted adviser, Purochana, and gives him a secret, detailed plan: build a house of flammable materials, get the Pandavas to live in it, and then burn them alive in their sleep.

After a year of pretending to be content in the flammable house built to kill them, Yudhishthira decides the time to escape has come. The Pandavas set the trap on fire themselves, leaving their would-be murderer Purochana to burn, and vanish into the night through a secret tunnel. The citizens of Varanavata wake to the blaze and mourn, believing Duryodhana has finally succeeded in murdering his cousins.
