Janamejayuni yagnamu

Abhimanya was theson of Arjuna and Subhadra.Parikshitthu was the son of Abhimanya.Janamejaya maharaju was the son of Parikshitthu.In view of the welfare of his people ,the king wanted to perform yaga which was almost eternal.In heaven, there was a dog named Sarama. Her pupy came to bhooloka and was wandering in this place where yaga was being conducted.Sruthasenudu,Bheemasenudu,ugrasenudu were brothers of Janamejaya. They kicked and hurt this dog.This dog went his mother weeping and explained what had happened. Sarama came and told of the atrocities of his brothers and wished bad for them and went to heaven.


In those days, maharshi named Udankudu came to theking and told him to perform Sarpayaaga.Because Thakshakudu,a snake, hurt him while he was going on some important deed.He also Killed Parikshithalso.Janamejaya startedperforming this Sarpayaaga to terminate all the snakes.Thakshakudu was afraid and sought the help of Indra to save his dynastyand him.Indra knew about the Saapa of nagamaatha Kadruva ,and the effect of Astheekudu, who was the son of Jarathkaaruvu.All famous and main snakes were falling in the yagnaagni. Then Vasuki told Jarathkaaruvu to send her son Astheekudu and see that yagna was stopped.Vasuki requested them to save snake clan.Aastheekudu told them that he woulddo so as per their request and went to yagna saala with reputed vedavetthalu.They praised Janamejaya ,the king very profusely and aptly.They all wished good for him and his people,. Every one was happy about these peopleThen Aastheekudu started saying To the king so. King was the jewel of Ckadravamsa dynasty.He was making his people happy with his rightful attitude and rule.He was great like his predecessors,Dharmaraaju aand others.Yagnas that were conducted byNala maharaju,Dharmarajus raajasuyamu, brahma yagnamu,varunudu yagnamu,sreekrishnuni yagnamu,Chandruni yagnamu and Janamejayuni yagnam , all were at par.They were so precious and prestigeous.He praised Janamejayuni dynasty,his dynasty,Yagnaagni and yaagnikaas who performed the yagna succesfully.
King was pleasantly surprised and happy by these praises and requested him ask for whatever favor he wanted.
Then Aastheekudu requested him to lose anger and temper ,become kindhearted and stop the sarpayaaga and save the sarpa dynasty.


Everyone present there also requested the king to oblge Aastheekuni plea and the obliged happily.As a result of this Thakshakudu and other snakes saved.
After wards , one day Vyaasa maharshi came to Janamejaya.  Janamejaya requested him about thestory of his great grand fathers, pandavas and kouravas.Vyaasa maharshi directed his disciple ,Vaisampaayana muni,to tell mahabharatha kadha to the king.Vaisampaayanudu started telling him all the incidents.
