The Suta said: “Tapodhana! After her husband left, Jaratkaru immediately went to her brother and reported everything that had happened. Hearing these words of great love, the elder Bhujagashreshtha humbled himself and said to his humble sister: “Brother! You know for what reason I gave you to him. For the benefit of the serpents, you were to have a son from him. My father had said to me earlier, when I was with the Suras , that, that brave man would save us all from the serpents. Subha! Have you conceived a child from that sage? I wish that this marriage of yours should not be in vain. It is not really right to question you in this way on this matter. However, since the matter is important, I must ask you this. I know that your ascetic husband gets angry easily. That is why I cannot go after him. He can even curse me. Bhadra!

The Suta said: "Immediately after hearing his mother's curse, Pannaga Sattama Vasuki began to think about what to do to prevent this curse from happening."

"Something must be done to prevent the sacrifice of Janamejaya, which is the cause of the destruction of snakes, from taking place." The Suta said: “Hear...
Shaunaka said: “Tell me again in detail what King Janamejaya heard from his ministers about his father’s heavenly destination.” The Suta said: “Brahmin! Listen to what Nrupati heard from his ministers about the death of Parikshit and what they told him. Janamejaya said: “You know very well what my father was like and how he died. After hearing everything from you about my father, I will do what is beneficial. Otherwise, nothing.” The Suta said: “Hearing the words of that great king Janamejaya, the wise ministers of all religions said: “Your father was a righteous man, a great man, and a protector of the people. Listen to how that great man behaved. He was loyal to his own dharma and protected the people of the four castes. The king was as pious as dharma. He was rich and extremely brave, protecting the goddess Prithvi. He had no hatred for anyone and no one hated him. Like Prajapati , he saw everyon...
