The horse after this, traveled northwards. It went and entered the northern sea and went inside the water.
Seeing this, Arjuna asked Krishna, how will I get the horse back?
Krishna said I will enter the water and get the horse.
While all stayed on the bank, Krishna with Arjuna and Babruvahan entered the water. There was a small island on the water where a sage was sitting. Krishna and the others went to that island. The sage was sitting on the island with banyan leaves on his head. Krishna asked the sage why he was sitting there with the leaves on his head. Why had he not constructed a hut there?
The sage said He was not immortal so what was the use of constructing something which he would have to leave one day.
He then asked where the three were going? Arjuna said he was trying to find the sacrificial horse.
The sage said What was the use of the sacrifice when Krishna was with them.
Saying this, the sage started singing praises of Krishna. The horse also arrived there.
Taking the horse, they thanked the sage and left.
The horse then entered the kingdom of Sindhu that was ruled by Manibhadra, son of Jayadratha and Dushala.
Manibhadra greeted Arjuna and Arjuna
Arjuna asked Dushala and Manibhadra to go to Hastinapura and attend the horse sacrifice.
Seeing this, Arjuna asked Krishna, how will I get the horse back?
