King Duryodhana (image source from Wikipedia)
Mayasura built a palace that he promised to build for the
Pandavas. He was known for being the architect of the demons. He owned gold and
gems stored up on the Himalayas that were guarded by yakshas and rakshasas. It took
Maya fourteen months to build a palace that gems looked like they were on fire.
The palace was known to be one of the most impressive building.
It was so impressive that it was comparable to palaces like Indra, Yama,
Varuna, Kubera, and Brahma. Maya had eight thousand rakshasas to be guards of
the palace.
King Duryodhana came to the palace one day and made ignorant
mistakes. He mistaken a crystal surve for a pool of water, so his clothes were
drenched. He continued to explored the mansion in embarrassment and made more mistakes.
He mistaken lake of crystal water with crystal petals for land, and he fell
into the water.
Both Bhima, Arjuna, and the twins were laughing out loud in
front of Duryodhana which upsetted him. He could not bear their laughter and
refused to look at them. As he was trying to crossover for dry land, it was
mistaken for water again. They all laughed at Duryodhana again.
