Arjuna Confronts the Gandharvas Over the KauravasCh. 530
The gandharvas have captured the Kauravas and their wives on the battlefield. Arjuna, seeing this, demands their release on the orders of Dharmaraja Yudhishthira. The gandharvas laugh and refuse — they obey only the lord of the gods. Arjuna gives them one chance to release the captives peacefully, then draws his bow.
