Before ascending to heaven, Pandavas crowned Abhimanyu's son, Parikshit, as the king of Hastinapur and renounced their kingdom to embark on a journey, accompanied by Draupadi

During their journey to heaven, the Pandavas reached the shores of the Red Sea. Until then, Arjun, out of attachment, had not relinquished his divine bow, Gandiva, and his quiver

When the Pandavas reached the Red Sea, Agni appeared before them. He said, 'Arjuna, the Gandiva bow you possess is the greatest of all bows. I gave it to you.'

Agni told Arjun, 'I brought this divine bow for you from Varuna. You do not need it on your journey to heaven. Return it to Varuna.'
