Arjuna led the sacrificial horse. He travelled far and wide and reached Manalūr. At the instruction of Ulūpī, Babhruvāhana confronted his father. A terrible fight ensued and Babhruvāhana cut off the head of Arjuna. Citrāṅgadā sent Babhruvāhana to the ‘Nāgaloka’ (the world of serpents) to bring the jewel ‘Mṛtasañjīvinī’ to restore her husband to life. The keeper of this jewel, which was under the custody of serpent Śeṣa was Dhṛtarāṣṭra, the son of Vāsuki. Knowing that it was not easy to get the jewel, Babhruvāhana fought with Dhṛtarāṣṭra. After a terrible fight he got the jewel. But Dhṛtarāṣṭra, who did not want Arjuna to come to life again, stole the jewel of Arjuna, by the help of his sons and threw it into the hermitage of Dālbhya. - [Previous: c5.824](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c5.824) - [Next: c5.826](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c5.826) - [Up: c5](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c5) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c5.825](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c5.825) · Pramāṇa
