The second partcontains the genealogy of the Pandavas and Koravas, their birth and youth until the marriage of Arjuna to Subhadra. The ardiparwa text also presents another story, the story of Garuda which frees Dewi Winatā’s mother from slavery carried out by Dewi Kadrū. The story of the dragons, with the famous dragons, among others Takṣaka, Anantabhoga, and Bāsuki. The Mandara mountain range is also presented in the ipdiparwa text, the rotation of the Mandara mountain occurs in the sea of Kṣīra which then emerges kūrmarāja which assists the rotation.
