When life became impossible for the Devas due to the depredations of the Kālakeyas, Indra brought Arjuna to Devaloka. As the Kālakeyas were granted the boon that they would not be killed by the Devas, Arjuna's help had thus to be sought by Indra. Arjuna killed the Kālakeyas and destroyed Hiraṇyapura. (Vana Parva, Chapter 173). On one occasion Nārada gave a correct description of Hiraṇyapura to Mātali, the charioteer of Indra. (Udyoga Parva, Chapter 100).
