Krishna and Arjuna both came to visit Indraprastha. They were around intoxicated people who were celebrating a twelve years' sacrifice. A brahmin, Agni, approached the two asking for help. He was weak and needed to restore his vigor through the khandava forest. The deal was to trade for celestial weapons, such as: bow from god Varuna, a chariot full of weapons, and a mace/discus. Once they received their fair share, they went to go defeat Indra, who was in charge of the forest. They defeated Indra and restored Agni's vigor.
