    1. Sabha parvam describes the greatness of Maya sabha. The one which was constructed and gifted by Maya (asura) to Arjuna. This maya sabha is a miracle. So, this is the stage where Yudhister will be getting to know about all other sabhas in the world which are greater than Maya sabha from Naaradh Maharshi. Maharshi describes about Brahma sabha, Indra sabha, Yama Sabha etc..
      And this discussion leads to Raajasuya Yagam. Becoz, Pandu raj will be in Yama sabha where as Harischandra is in Indra sabha. As if yudhister do rajasuya yagam and win over the world, then his father will be getting promotion to Indra sabha.

      And Sabha parvam is very crucial in Mahabharatam, that initiates every crucial decisions and actions from both pandavas and kauravas.
