With the spread of the influence ofVairata kings Cyamarka came to be knownamong the Jiindns as Camivrksa and the storyof the concealment of the bows and arrows bythe Pandavas in the caves probably becamecurrent at this time. We learn from theMaliabharata that the live Pandavas kept theirbows and arrows in the holes of trees and not inthe caves of any hill.
