Srivatsa regains his kingdom

Yudhistira asked Kirshna, What happened after Shani blessed Srivatsa?

Krishna said - Srivatsa lived for sometime in the palace of his father in law. One day, having had his bath, he went to Bahudeva and requested his permission to return back.

Bahudeva arranged for chariots but Srivatsa said it would take days before he reached his kingdom. He then remembered Taala and Betala. Taala Betala came and asked what was wanted off them. Srivatsa said he wanted them to take him to his own kingdom.

Taala and Betala asked the king and queens to climb on the chariot. Taala sat on top of the chariot and Betala became the charioteer. With the speed of wind, the chariot flew and soon reached Srivatsa's kingdom.

On the way, Taala pointed out to the ashrama of Surabhi, the village of the woodcutters  the spot where the burnt fish had swum off and the place where Shani had taken the bundle of wealth. Soon they reached the kingdom.

Hearing that their king was back, the citizens came out to greet him. The king went and sat on his throne with his two queens on his side.

SoonSrivatsa was blessed with a hundred sons and two daughters.

Ruling well, the king and his two queens went to heaven, when it was time.

Krishna then said - Yudhistira, do not lament. It is destiny.

Krishna then left for Dwaraka along with Subhadra and the young Abhimanyu. Dhristadyumna took along with him, the sons of Draupadi.

After they all left, Yudhistira told his brothers to look for a place where they could peacefully live for twelve years.
