Kubera's guards arrive at the pond — gigantic, armed with rocks, ready for battle. But when they see Yudhishthira, Lomasha, and the assembled brahmanas, they do not attack. They prostrate themselves in humility, and Yudhishthira pacifies them.

At that moment, the guards of the pond appeared. Their bodies were gigantic and they were armed with rocks. They had come to defend Kubera's domain against the intruders who had slain their companions. But when they saw Dharmaraja, maharshi Lomasha, Nakula, Sahadeva, and all the other bulls among brahmanas, they did not raise their weapons. They prostrated themselves in humility. Yudhishthira, whose very presence seemed to calm the anger of those who approached him, pacified the roamers of the night. The guards became calm. With Kubera's permission, the bulls among the Kurus lived there for some time and sported themselves — the yaksha lord's forces and the Pandava party sharing the pond in peace.
