When the Pandavas were in the forest, Draupadi requested Bheema for a Saugandhika flower of heavenly fragrance. Bheema went forth into the forest to bring it. As Bheema was walking fast with long strides, he saw a monkey's tail across his path.

He angrily shouted, "You ape,remove your tail and clear my way." The monkey slowly looked at Bheema and said, "My dear man, I am very old and can't even move. Push my tail away and walk on." Bheema was angry, amused and full of contempt. Was it what an unequalled hero like him should do? He tried to push the tail with his mace. But nothing happened. Try as he would, he could not even move that old tail. Then his mind grew clear and it dawned on him that this was not any ordinary monkey but could be Hanuman. With folded hands he begged his pardon and hanuman blessed bheema.

Palace

  1. The mighty-armed Vrikodara like Maghavat entering his own beautiful fane, entered the palace of Duryodhana, that was adorned with many excellent buildings and rooms, that adorned with gems of diverse kinds, that teemed with servants, male and female, and that Yudhishthira assigned to him with the approval of Dhritarashtra. 
  2. The mighty-armed Arjuna also, at the command of the king, obtained the palace of Dussasana which was not inferior to Duryodhana's and which consisted of many excellent structures and was adorned with a gate-way of gold, and which abounded in wealth and was full of attendants of both sexes.
  3. The palace of Durmarshana was even superior to that of Dussasana. Looking like the mansion of Kuvera himself, it was adorned with gold and every kind of gem. King Yudhishthira gladly gave it to Nakula who deserved it best and who had been emaciated (with the miseries of a life) in the great forest. 
  4. The foremost of palaces belonging to Durmukha was exceedingly beautiful and adorned with gold. It abounded in beds and beautiful women, with eyes like lotus-petals. The king gave it unto Sahadeva who was ever employed in doing what was agreeable to him. Obtaining it, Sahadeva became delighted as the Lord of treasures upon obtaining Kailasa. 
  5. Yuyutsu and Vidura and Sanjaya, O monarch, and Sudharman and Dhaumya, proceeded to the abodes they had owned before.

Thou

"Vaisampayana said, 'Having got back the kingdom, king Yudhishthira of great wisdom and purity, after the ceremony of installation had been over, joining his hands together, addressed the lotus-eyed Krishna of Dasarha's race, saying, 'Through thy grace, O Krishna, through thy policy and might and intelligence and prowess, O tiger among the Yadus, I have got back this ancestral kingdom of mine.

  26. Thou art Emperor, thou art Virat, and thou art Swarat. 
  27. Thou art the Chief of the celestials, and thou art the cause whence the Universe has sprung. 
  28. Thou art Almighty, thou art existence in every form, thou art without form, thou art Krishna, and thou art fire. 
  29. Thou art the Creator, thou art the sire of the celestial physicians, thou art (the sage) Kapila, and thou art the Dwarf.

  33. The track of thy car-wheels is light. 
  34. Thou art the lotus of Prosperity, thou art the cloud called Pushkara, and thou art decked with floral wreaths. 
  35. Thou art affluent, thou art puissant, thou art the most subtle, and it is thou whom the Vedas describe.

Thus hymned by king Yudhishthira the just in the midst of the court, the lotus-eyed Krishna became pleased. That foremost one of the Yadavas then began to gladden the eldest son of Pandu with many agreeable speeches."

Ananta

Lord Krishna said, 'Oh Dharmaraja, the fruition of one's previous karma is indeed relentless. However, it cannot torment those who are devoted to me. So you observe the vow called Ananta Vrata. Indeed, I am Lord Ananta and the vow is dear to me. I am the Lord of all that is; for I am in all the forms of existence. I am above karma, motive and the modes of existence. This vow has to be observed on the 14th day (chaturdasi) of the dark half of the lunar month of Bhaadrapada. This vow can bestow infinite blessings on the observer.
