What happened to the Pandavas in Ekachakrinagar after killing Bakasura?

Bakasura Parva is the tenth upa parva included in the first maha parva, named as Adi parva, in the epic Mahabharat.

मूलं भुजगैः शिखरं विहगैः शाखां प्लवगैः कुसुमानि भृगैः ।
आश्चर्यमेतत् खलुचन्दनस्य परोपकाराय सतां विभूतयः ॥

Ninth upa parva in the epic Mahabharat is the Hidimba Vadha Parva, under the first mahaparva named as Adi parva . All the five Pandava brothers saved their lives, since they had obediently followed the instructions and advices of their mother. Vidura started thinking, regarding the moral lessons, actually shown by Purochana by getting his own end of life, in the burnt lac home. After eating good food received from Kunti, the other unknown five forest brothers, the sons of the lady servant, due to greed or over temptation, had consumed the alcohol, and died there. Vidura himself confirmed the idea, as uncontrolled consuming of alcohol would always bring adverse end to the human life.

Sambhava upa parva is the seventh upa parva within the Adi mahaparva in Mahabharat. The story of the birth of various characters is narrated in this section. Starting from the creation of the universe, from Brahma onwards, till the education of Pandavas were narrated in these chapters.

Amshavatarana is the sixth upa parva in the Adi parva of the Mahabharat. The story had been told by Veda Vyasa Rishi to his son Shuka muni, with the title Jaya. Hence, there should be such words and crazy incidences, regarding the true happenings, also pleasing to the children. Some western authors had re-written with the name Mahabharat and marked with a tag-note for enjoyment of aged people, or of more than eighteen years, and presented with exaggerations, without divinity. In this website, it is tried to present the story with the true essence of holiness as Veda Vyasa intended to present to his own son Shuka.
