Yuyutsu

Nagarjuna

Nagarjuna is the son of Arjun and Uluchi….due to a curse by a muni and his wife to Uluchi(She had thrown a stone on pigeon’s nest and an egg fell off and broke which angered the muni and wife who were at that time cursed as pigeons though Uluchi got rid of them of their curse from being pigeons to humans but at the same time the stone she threw made the egg fall from nest and broke and due to this muni’s wife cursed her that she too suffer similarly without her son and husband for a long time) she was cursed that both her husbaand and son will not remember their relationship however later muni’s wife broke the curse saying that Arjuna will remember everything once thrishul and chakra clash against each other. Also, there is a fight between Arjuna and Nagarjuna(who was looked after from birth by Goddess Parvathi) and the unending fight culminates in Parvathi sending Thrishul against Arjuna and Arjuna calling for Krishna’s help and Subhadra too asking Krishna to save her husband and Krishna sends his weapon Chakra to clash against the Thrishul and that’s when Arjuna remembers his stay in Nagalok and his marriage to Ulupi.

Since Pandu maharaj would have gone neither to Swarg or narak due to his deeds against a muni and his wife and he would reach moksh only after rakhtha tharpana(blood sacrifice) of a boy with shrungi on his head and this happens to be Nagarjuna. He sacrifices himself to give moksha to his pithamaha(grand father) and Nagarjuna’s last words to Krishna that he never got a chance to serve the lord to which Krishna says that in his next incarnation he would be born as Buddha and Nagarjuna will be his greatest disciple and he would get a chance to serve him to his fullest then.

Mayuradhvaja

While Arjuna and Tāmradhvaja fight against each other for seven days, the gods enjoy the spectacle (tamāshā), watching safely from the sky.

A King of Ratnanagara. After performing seven Aśvamedha yāgas this King started another Aśvamedha in the Narmadā river valley. The task of protecting the sacrificial horse was undertaken by the King's son Sucitra or Tāmradhvaja. He set out for the conquest of the world with the chief minister Bahudhvaja. On his return, he came across Yudhiṣṭhira's Aśvamedha horse at the city of Maṇipur. The heroic Sucitra encountered Śrī Kṛṣṇa and Arjuna who were leading the horse. After making them unconscious, he entered the city with the sacrificial horse.

When they recovered their senses, Śrī Kṛṣṇa disguised himself as a Brāhmaṇa and Arjuna as a Brāhmaṇa boy and they went to Mayūradhvaja's palace. The King welcomed them respectfully. Śrī Kṛṣṇa, in his disguise as Brāhmaṇa told the King that he was coming from Dharmapurī to meet the King's priest, Kṛṣṇa who was to officiate at the marriage of his (Brāhmaṇa's) son. He added that unfortunately on his way through a forest a lion caught hold of his son. Although he prayed to Lord Narasiṁha, the boy could not be rescued. The lion told him that he would release his son, if the Brāhmaṇa persuaded Mayūradhvaja to offer one half of his body as food to the lion. On hearing the Brāhmaṇa's story, Mayūradhvaja agreed to give half of his body to the lion. Just then his queen Kumudvatī appeared before them and said, “I am the left half (Vāmabhāga) of the King. You may take me and offer me as food for the lion.” But the Brāhmaṇa replied that the lion wanted the right half of the King's body. When the King heard this, he readily agreed to give the right half of his own body. Accordingly, they started cutting his body into two halves. Just then, seeing tears coming down from Mayūradhvaja's left eye, the Brāhmaṇa said:--“I find that you are in great sorrow; I do not wish to accept a gift which is not given wholeheartedly.” Mayūradhvaja explained that his tears were not caused by pain or sorrow. His left side was disappointed in not being able to be of as much service as the right side. When Śrī Kṛṣṇa heard these words of the King, he resumed his own shape and embraced him and blessed him. After that Mayūradhvaja completed his yāga and started with Kṛṣṇa and Arjuna, taking Yudhiṣṭhira's sacrificial horse with them. (Jaimini; Aśvamedha: 41-46).
