Fetching the gem

Uloopi sent for the naga Punadrika. Babruvahan stood queitly. Chitrangada said You have created history by killing your own father. Now listen to what Uloopi says. She is trying to get a gem that will revive Arjuna. The gem is in the nether world. Go and fetch that.
Babruvahan said I am not sure if the naga Ananta knows about me. He will not hand over the gem to me. It is better that Pundarika goes. If Pundarika is not given the gem, then I will go and fight and get the gem.
Uloopi said that was the correct way of dealing with the situation. She asked Pundarika to go and get the gem.
Pundarika went and asked Ananta to give the gem to him. While Ananta was willing, he needed an approval from the naga council. He asked them for their opinion.
Dhritarashtra, an elderly naga said - The gem protects the nagas from Garuda. And it is good that Arjuna is dead. I was friends with the king Dhritarashtra and Arjuna had killed many of his people. Let Babruvahan do what he can. I am happy that Arjuna is dead.
Ananta tried to argue with Dhritarashtra but he did not agree.
Pundarika came and reported this Uloopi.
Uloopi asked Babruvahan to go and fetch the gem.
When Ananta heard that Babruvahan was coming, he went to Dhritarashtra and said - You did not give the gem. Now Babruvahan has come to forcibly take away the gem.
Dhritarashtra said he did not fear the humans and would quickly kill him.
When Babruvahan began fighting, the nagas could stand his might. Dhritarashtra fled and went to Ananta asking for help. Ananta said - You did not give the gem. Now this is the consequence of that.
Dhritarashtra realizing that there was no other way, asked Ananta to give the gem to Babruvahan.

Ananta took the gem to Babruvahan and said Please stop the fight. Please take the gem and leave.

Babruvahan withdrew his weapons and took the gem. When he was leaving, Dhritarashtra called his sons and said - I had to face defeat because of this human. Quickly go to earth and get the heads of Arjuna and Vrishaketu. Without their heads, the dead will not get revived.

Babruvahan went to Uloopi with the gem. He said he had brought the gem but what had happened to the heads of Arjuna and Vrishaketu?

Chitrangada and Uloopi broke down.
Babruvahan said all this was happening because of him, and he would kill himself.

Uloopi said only Krishna knew a way out of this.

In Hastinapura, Kunti had a dream. She saw Babruvahan kill Arjuna and Vrishaketu. She called Krishna and told him about that.

Krishna told her not to worry. He called for Garuda and asked him to appear. Climbing up on Garuda, Krishna asked to be taken to Manipur.
