Mayan was very grateful to Arjuna and Krishna for sparing his life during the destruction of Khāndava forest by fire. By way of returning this favour Mayan wanted to do something good to Arjuna.

Prāṇa-rakṣaṇam (saving a life) is considered a sacred duty as per our Dharma śāstram. It is an expression of one's dharma and should not be traded as a commodity. The one whose life was saved would be morally indebted and they should voluntarily offer something to the life-saver.

As per Manu Smṛti one should not follow Dharma for the sake of monetary gains. Knowledge, Veda mantrams, Puṇya dharmas such as saving a life etc. should not be sold and doing so is severely criticised.

Krishna and Arjuna introduced Mayan to Yudhiṣṭhira and briefed him about the proposed building plan. Yudhiṣṭhira received Mayan with due honours and after thoughtful planning and due rituals Mayan proceeded to initiate the construction works.

Bhagavān Krishna took leave of the Pāṇḍavas from Khāndavaprastha and proceeded to Dwāraka in his Gold chariot. The chariot was pulled by the horses Śaibya and Sugrīva and the charioteer was Dāruka.

With precious gems , gold, crystals and several other precious materials the beautiful palace which included an artificial forest and a crystal pool was completed by Mayan in 14 months.

The Divine sage Nārada visited the Sabhā during its Praveśa and quizzed Yudhiṣṭhira on wide-ranging topics related to a King's Dharma, administration and governance, politics, military strategy etc., required to ensure a successful rule. Sage Naradā's questions and enquiries run to more than 100 slokas.

Replying to Yudhiṣṭhira's question on the celestial sabhā mandapams sage Nārada gives a brilliant description of the various sabhās with their attributes, inhabitants, visitors and other finer details which are awe-inspiring.

When Mayan embarked on completing the Sabhā mandapam for Yudhiṣṭhira, he went to North of Kailāsa and sourced a divine Gadhā for Bhīma and the conch Devaduttam from lake Bindusaras.
