Duryodhana had come to the forest where the Pandavas were spending their years in exile. There, Chitrasena, the king of the Gandharvas imprisoned him. On hearing this, Yudhisthira said to Arjuna, "We can settle scores with Duryodhana later. An outsider has captured our clan, so go and rescue Duryodhana." Arjuna went and defeated Chitrasena's soldiers. Chitrasena was forced to descend from heaven. He was Arjuna's friend. He told Arjuna, "Indra  had ordered me to to punish Duryodhana and his friends for making fun of you." Arjuna took Chitrasena to Yudhisthra who said, "We thank you for your concern for us. But please release Duryodhana now." Chitrasena agreed and released Duryodhana. Duryodhana felt very humiliated because his most hated enemies, the Pandavas, saved his life.
