Explanation

King Nahusha, cursed to become a python (or serpent), captured Bhima in the forest. He was destined to be released only if someone could answer his questions correctly. Yudhishthira, displaying his wisdom, answered all of Nahusha's questions satisfactorily, which freed both Nahusha from his curse and Bhima from the python's grasp. This episode tested Yudhishthira's knowledge and righteousness.
