Dharmaraju was walking in the front.He was followed by Bheema,Arjuna,Nakula,Sahadeva and Droupadi.Dog was following them in the last.They reached the banks of river Ganga and by power of yoga reached sea shore on the eastern side.Agni appeared before them. Arjuna was having his Gaandeevam. He told that Sri Krishnas celestial chakra has reached heaven. Why does Arjuna leave his Gaandeevam? Arjuna told this to his brothers and sank it in the sea with utmost respect.Agni disappeared after this incident.From there,Pandavas neared Meru mountains. They were crossing all these distances with the power of Yoga .
