NAHUSHA

Immediately Nahusha fell headlong, down from heaven, and became a python in the jungle and had to wait for several thousand years for his deliverance.

Indra was restored to his state. Hebecame the king of the gods and Sachidevi's grief ended.

Relating this story of the sufferings ofIndra and his wife to Yudhishthira and Draupadi at Upaplavya, their uncle Salya tried to comfort them.

"Victory awaits the patient. Those, whom prosperity makes arrogant, meet with destruction.

You, your brothers and Draupadi have one through untold sufferings like Indra and his wife. Your trials will soon be over and you will regain your kingdom.

He evil-minded Karna and Duryodhana will be destroyed even as Nahusha was," said Salya.
