If there is Rahu or Mars and Saturn in the fourth house one will be kapati [man of evil intentions].
When Pandava's were in exile, Duryodhana wanted to show his prosperity to them and wanted to make fun of them. So to show that he has performed better yagnya than Rajsooya of Yudhisthir, he opted for Paundrika yaag. Sent invitation to pandava's. Bheemasena sent away his emissary by saying there can be only one yagnya now, and that is Yudhdha yagnya. Duryodhana completed yaag, but is intention of showing wealth to others and pandava's did not materialise, as Pandava's did not attend. [Yagnya or other austerities done without pleasing Vishnu bhaktas don't give good results], unhappy Duryodhan and Karna went to the forest to tease the Pandavas under the pretext of Go samrakshana [yagnya ends with cattle grazing and feeding them]. Since Duryodhanas main intention was to insult Pandavas, Indra [lord of yagnyas] wanted to teach Duryodhana a lesson and save Pandava's from embarrassment. So he [Bramha] and other deities gave boon to one Gandharva Chitrasena as to be invincible for a day, and sent to instigate Duryodhan.
Duryodhana was taking a bath in the pond, guarded by his soldiers. Just when gandharva descended to the pond. Guards objected, gandharvas replied they were from heaven and were not obliged by the rule of a human king [chakravarti]. Duryodhana and guards became angry and waged a war.
Chitrasen with the boon soon overpowered Duryodhan. Karna fought with him, but as he was fighting with a jeal to insult Pandava's, [parshuram had cursed him, if he fought with jeal or competition he would lose], he lost and ran away.
Gandharva tied Duryodhan and dragged him towards heaven.
Kaurav ministers ran to Pandava camp and asked Bheemsena to help to save family prestige. Bheema refused, But Yudhisthira was in a day's deeksha, and hence asked Bheema to rescue Duryodhana.
Bheema and others went and fought with Chitrasena and released Duryodan.
Chitrasena told in front of all the gathering the evil intention of Duryodhan. Yudhisthir and other elders scolded him to discontinue his evil ways like a child.
Duryodhana totally ashamed returned to his camp, and undertook fast unto death [for he could not avenge Pandava's yet had to take their refuge].
