curse of VRUddhakshathrudu

Arjuna was tired of keeping the head of Saindhava from ground.he asked Krishna,how long he had to throw it into the sky again and again.then Sree Krishna started to tell him the story of Vruddhakshathrudu. Vruddhakshathrudu was the king of Sindhu.he did penance for a son.he had a son named Saindhava.his actual name is Jayadhradha.in his childhood,once a voice was heard from the sky that he would be beheaded when he is not alert in the war field.hearing this,his father ,with the power of penance,gave curse like this. who ever would throw Saindhavs head on to the ground,would die a mean death. his head would be blown in to hundred pieces.so,Saindhavas head should not fall to the ground. Vruddha kshathrudu gave his kingdom to Saindhava and went into woods to do penance.his abode is near Samanthapanchaka area.so,Krishna directed Arjuna to use his Paasupathaasthram in such a way that the head of Saindhava would fall straight into the lap of VRuddhakshathrudu.then Arjuna prayed that his use of Paasupathaasthram should be in such a way that the mission is accomplished successfully.he released arrows in such a stream that the head of Saindhava fell into the lap of Vruddhakshathrudu who was doing penance.the old king did not know what fell in his lap.so,he immediately took it and threw it on to the ground.as soon as it fell to the ground,the old kings head blew into hundred peices and immediately died.seeing this,Krishna praised Arjuna.everyone was awe struck at this act of Arjuna.Arjuna then took back the paasupathaasthram.till his head fell on to the ground,the body of Saindhava was standing in the chariot. as soon as it fell,his body also collapsed to the ground.like this Arjuna succeeded. kouravas wept seeing the demise of Saindhava. Bheema blew his conch and made sounds of happiness like a lion.Dharmaraju was happy that Arjuna could fulfill his words.pandava armies were happy with this outcome.they attacked Drona with inspiration.
