पंक्ति 31:
भीष्म पितामह और धृतराष्ट्र के अपने प्रति दर्शित नैतिक व्यवहार के परिणामस्वरूप पांडवों ने खांडवप्रस्थ को इंद्रप्रस्थ में परिवर्तित कर दिया। पाँच पाँडवों के संग, <!-- Thus in consequence of the virtuous behaviour of Bhishma and king Dhritarashtra towards them, the Pandavas took up their abode in Khandavaprastha. Adorned with those five mighty warriors, each equal unto Indra himself, that foremost of cities looked like Bhogavati adorned with the [[Nagas]].

== इतिहास ==
Indraprastha is referenced in the ''Mahabharata'', a [[Sanskrit]] Indian text compiled over a period approximately between 400 BCE and 400 CE. It was one of the five places demanded for the sake of peace and to avert a disastrous war, Krishna proposed that if Hastinapur agreed to give the Pandavas only five villages, namely, Indraprastha, Swarnprastha ([[Sonipat]]), Panprastha ([[Panipat]]), Vyaghrprastha ([[Baghpat]]) and Tilprastha ([[Tilpat]])<ref>{{Cite web|date=2019-12-05|title=Geeta Jayanti 2019: पांडवों ने कौरवों से मांगे थे ये पांच गांव जानिए इनके बारे में|url=https://www.naidunia.com/spiritual/vrat-tyohar-geeta-jayanti-2019-had-asked-these-five-villages-from-kauravas-know-about-these-4030796|access-date=2020-09-02|website=Nai Dunia|language=hi}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|title=इन पांच गांवों के कारण हुआ था पांडव और कौरवों में महाभारत का युद्ध {{!}} mahabharata war|url=https://hindi.webdunia.com/mahabharat/mahabharata-war-118070900009_1.html|access-date=2020-09-02|website=hindi.webdunia.com}}</ref> then they would be satisfied and would make no more demands. Duryodhana vehemently refused, commenting that he would not part with land even as much as the point of a needle. Thus, the stage was set for the great war for which the epic of Mahabharata is known most of all. The Mahabharata records Indraprastha as being home to the Pandavas, whose wars with the [[Kauravas]] it describes.

During the Mauryan period, Indraprastha was known as Indapatta in Buddhist literature. The location of Indraprastha is uncertain but [[Purana Qila]] in present day New Delhi is frequently cited.{{efn|For instance, Indologist [[J. A. B. van Buitenen]], who translated the Mahabharata, wrote in 1973 that "there can be no reasonable doubt about the locations of [[Hastinapura]], of Indraprastha (Delhi's Purana Qila [...]), and of [[Mathura]]}}<ref name="BuitenenBuitenen1973">{{cite book|author1=J.
