During this exile period on roaming in these forests when Arjuna met to Allupi the daughter of Sheshnag, they fell into love with each other resulting they have married to each other and he left Allupi at her kingdom. Since after some time when Allupi was impregnated and her father as well as Arjuna had gone from here in order to hide themselves from the Kourvas then Allupi gave birth to a child came to known as Babbarwan. When soon after of completion of their exile Arjuna performed the "ASHAVMEV YAGA" and left a horse for its commemoration then Babbarwan in the way at his kingdom caught the horse due to which a fierce battle was held up among both of them in which Babbarwan beheaded the Arjuna and offered to his mother Allupi who discriminated and advised him to alive him once again by bringing the "MANI" from the Nag Lok who were residing in the PATAAL PURI. In order to get the "MANI" Babbarwan entered into the earth from Sruinsar which was originally named as Srumbsar means from this point he entered into the earth and did fierce a battle with the army of nags and attained the "MANI" from their possession.
