c5.s7.482.3

Indra became filled with joy and applauded Kṛṣṇa and Arjuna. An incorporeal voice addressed him, saying that Takṣaka was in Kurukṣetra, and that Kṛṣṇa and Arjuna, being the old ṛṣis and gods Nara and Nārāyaṇa, were invincible, and that the destruction of the forest of Khāṇḍava had been ordained by fate. Then also Indra went back to heaven. The Vidyādharas, etc., dwelling in that forest, all became frightened. Agni, drinking the nectar-like stream of animal fat, became filled with joy. When the Asura Maya, the brother of Namuci, was about to be slain by Kṛṣṇa and burnt by Agni, Arjuna rescued him. Agni burnt the forest for fifteen days, sparing only six of its dwellers: Aṣvasena, Maya, and four ḉārṅgakas (a sort of birds, Nil.) (I, 228).—§ 259 (Ḉārṅgakopākhyāna, q.v.): I, 229, 1—234, 4, (8331-8464).—§ 260: When Agni had consumed fat, marrow, and flesh in abundance, and burnt the forest for fifteen days, he became gratified and extinguished his weapons (both the Āgneya and the Vāyavya), and Indra and granted them a boon. Arjuna asked him to give him all his weapons (both the Āgneya and the Vāyavya), and Indra promised to give them when Mahādeva had been pleased with him. To Kṛṣṇa he granted that his friendship with Arjuna should be eternal. Then he ascended to heaven with the celestials. Arjuna, Vāsudeva, and the Dānava Maya, having wandered a little, sat down on the bank of a river (I, 234).
