Bhima in the river, went where the current took him. Slowly going into the water, he went down and reached the land of the Nagas, under the water.
Angry at seeing this strange object floating into their kingdom, these snakes began biting Bhima. The poison in the snakes acted as an anecdote and neutralized the poison in Bhima's body.
Awake, Bhima broke the ropes that tied him. Then seeing the snakes around them, he started grabbing them and hurling them around. Scared, the snaked fled. They went to Vasuka, their king, and told him all that had happened.
Vasuki wanted to see this person so went to see Bhima accompanied by his snakes. He recognized Bhima as a descendant of his and in sweet tones and words calmed Bhima. He gifted him many jewels and weapons. He then told the snakes never to harm Bhima.
He then took Bhima to his house where he gave him food and drink. There were pots of some drink there. Bhima after his food dranks from a few of the drinks. Each pot contained a drink that would give the one who consumed it, the strength of a thousand elephants. Having drunk from eight of those pots, Bhima gained the strength of eight thousand elephants.
After that Bhima went to sleep.
