for Ashwamegh Yagya) was captured by Babar Vahan at village 'khoon' nearby
village Ramkot on dhar Udhampur road where Arjun was killed by babar vahan. With
joy of victory, babar vahan presented the head of Arjun to his mother Ulpi. She
told him that he has killed his father. To make arjun alive again, mani from
sheshnag was required. Hence babar vahan made a surang through his arrow and
