Vaishampayana said: "Then Maya said to Partha in the presence of Vasudeva, with joined palms, in a gentle voice, honoring him again and again: 'From this enraged Krishna and from the fire eager to burn me, I have been saved by you, O Kaunteya; tell me, what shall I do for you?'"

The Sabha-parva opens with a debt of gratitude. It is significant that the first movement of the one who has been saved is not joy for himself but a desire to repay: one who has received grace seeks how to return it. Maya, the architect of the asuras, took refuge with Arjuna in the midst of the fire -- and here he shows the fruit of that refuge, bowing with joined palms. Thus scripture opens the book of assemblies with a speech of gratitude; and Arjuna responds to it.
