Nagagini - (Dewi) - Mahabharata

Dewi Nagagini and Bima (Werkundara) met when the Pandava family and Dewi Kunti, in an effort to save themselves from a murder plot by the Kaurava family in the amber house incident in the Wanayasa forest (the "Bale Sigala-gala" incident), arrived at Kahyangan Saptapratala.

When the Pandawa in the Balesegala-gala play were tricked by the Kauravas and trapped in a burning building, where a banquet was being held, the Pandawa were unable to escape from this dangerous situation.
Thanks to the generosity of the Gods, the Pandawa managed to escape into the earth by following a white Garangan (a type of civet), until they met Hyang Antaboga. Then Raden Bratasena, the second Pendawa, was married to Dewi Nagagini and had a son, Raden Antareja or Antasena.
Antareja and his mother remained in Saptapratala, because they were classified as Gods and Goddesses and had to settle there.
