Thereupon, Abhimanyu falls for Uttara, daughter of King Virata. So, he calls his elder brother Ghatotkacha and intrudes into the palace. Soon, they create chaos which leads to turbulence and Pandavas' in disguise are confounded. During that plight, Krishna appears and resolves the conflict by making Abhimanyu & Ghatotkacha as prisoners to Virata. Thereafter, the Pandavas' successfully completes their exile and couples up Uttara & Abhimanyu. Right now, Krishna moves as an ambassador to Duryodhana for negotiations which fails and war erupts.
