Birth, marriage and accession to throne.

Janamejaya was the son of 笔补谤墨办峁�i迟 by his wife Madravat墨. 痴补辫耻峁ａ弓补尘腻, daughter of Suvar峁嘺varman, King of 碍腻艣墨 was Janamejaya鈥檚 wife. Two sons, 艢补迟腻苍墨办补 and 艢补峁卥耻办补谤峁嘺 were born to them. Janamejaya had three brothers called 艢谤耻迟补蝉别苍补, Ugrasena and 叠丑墨尘补sena. (顿别惫墨 叠丑腻驳补惫补迟补, 2nd Skandha; 膧di Parva, Chapters 3 and 95).

Death of his father.

Janamejaya鈥檚 father, 笔补谤墨办峁�i迟 ruled the country in a very distinguished manner for sixty years. While once hunting in the forest 笔补谤墨办峁�i迟 became very tired and thirsty. While searching for water he came across a Sage named 艢补尘墨办补 and asked him for some water. 艢补尘墨办补 being engaged in meditation did not hear the King鈥檚 request. But, the King mistaking the sage鈥檚 silence for haughtiness threw in anger a dead snake round his neck and went away. But, within seven days of the incident 笔补谤墨办峁�i迟 was bitten to death by 罢补办峁�a办补, king of the 狈腻驳补蝉 according to the curse pronounced on him by Gavij膩ta, son of sage 艢补尘墨办补.

Janamejaya was only an infant at the time of his father鈥檚 death. So the obsequies of the late king were performed by his ministers. After that at an auspicious time Janamejaya was crowned King. Within a short time he mastered statecraft. Dhanurvidy膩 was taught by 碍峁沺腻肠腻谤测补. Very soon he earned reputation as an efficient administrator. He got married in due course. (顿别惫墨 叠丑腻驳补惫补迟补, 2nd Skandha).

His hatred towards snakes.

In the course of a talk one day with Janamejaya 鲍迟迟补峁卥补 the sage detailed to him the circumstances of his father鈥檚 death. Only then did he understand the actual cause of 笔补谤墨办峁�i迟鈥檚 death, and the information kindled in him intense feelings of revenge not only against serpents but also against the whole serpent dynasty. (顿别惫墨 叠丑腻驳补惫补迟补, 2nd Skandha).

Sarpasatra. (Serpent yaj帽a).

Janamejaya sought the advice of priests and 峁歵惫颈办蝉 as to how best revenge could be taken against the serpents, and they advised him to perform the great 驰补箩帽补 called Sarpasatra. And, accordingly all necessary arrangements for the Satra were made, and the King began 诲墨办峁Ｄ� (Initiation) for it (to live for a few days under severe routine to prepare the author of the yaj帽a for it). But the priest who made the arrangements looked into signs about the successful conclusion of the yaj帽a and opined that it would be obstructed by a brahmin, and, the King, therefore, ordered strict steps to be taken against the entry of strangers into the Y膩ga艣腻濒腻.

And, the Sarpasatra began. High priests wore black clothes, and chanting mantras they made offerings in the sacred fire, and this created a burning sensation in the hearts of serpents. They began, one after another to come and fall into the fire. All varieties of serpents got consumed by the fire thus.

Sages like 鲍迟迟补峁卥补, 颁补峁囜笉补产丑腻谤驳补惫补, 艢腻谤峁単补谤补惫补, 痴测腻蝉补, 鲍诲诲腻濒补办补, 膧迟谤别测补, Pramataka, 艢惫别迟补办别迟耻, 狈腻谤补诲补, Devala, K膩lagha峁璦, 艢谤耻迟补艣谤补惫补蝉, Kohala, 顿别惫补艣补谤尘补苍, Maudgalya and Samasaurabha acted as 峁歵惫颈办蝉 at the Satra. Though almost all the serpents courted death in the fire, 罢补办峁�a办补 alone did not come. Fear-stricken he had taken refuge with Indra.

As the chanting of mantras increased in intensity and volume 痴腻蝉耻办颈 began to feel the burning sensation. He requested his sister 闯补谤补迟办腻谤耻 to find out some means of escape from the Satra, and at the instance of 闯补谤补迟办腻谤耻 her son 膧蝉迟墨办补 set out for the palace of Janamejaya to obstruct the 驰补箩帽补.

Though the 峁歵惫颈办蝉 invoked for a long time 罢补办峁�a办补 did not appear. Enraged at his absence, 鲍迟迟补峁卥补 searched for 罢补办峁�a办补 with his divine eyes and found him seated on the throne of Indra along with him, who had given him (罢补办峁�a办补) asylum. This challenge of Indra kindled the wrath of 鲍迟迟补峁卥补 all the more, and he invoked Indra, 罢补办峁�a办补 and Indra鈥檚 throne too so that all of them might together come and fall into the fire. And, lo! there came the whole lot of them. Only two minutes more and all of them would be reduced to ashes.

By now 膧蝉迟墨办补, the son of 闯补谤补迟办腻谤耻 had arrived at the 驰补箩帽补 艣腻濒腻. Janamejaya received the young Sage with all respect and promised to grant his desire whatever that be. 膧蝉迟墨办补鈥檚 demand was that the Sarpa Satra should be stopped. Though Janamejaya was not for stopping the yaj帽a, he was reminded of his promise to grant any desire of 膧蝉迟墨办补 and the latter insisted on the stopping of the Satra. Janamejaya stopped it. 膧蝉迟墨办补 blessed that the serpents which had died at the Satra would attain salvation. (膧di Parva, Chapters 52-58; 顿别惫墨 叠丑腻驳补惫补迟补, 2nd Skandha).

Listens to the 叠丑腻谤补迟补 story.

While the Sarpa 艢atra was being conducted 痴测腻蝉补 came over there and related the whole story of the 惭补丑腻产丑腻谤补迟补 at the request of Janamejaya. (膧di Parva, Chapter 60).

厂补谤补尘腻鈥檚 curse.

Janamejaya along with his brother once performed a yaj帽a of long duration at 碍耻谤耻办峁�e迟谤补. While the yaj帽a was going on, a dog (son of 厂补谤补尘腻 the bitch of the Devas) came there. The three brothers of Janamejaya beat the dog which returned to its mother, 厂补谤补尘腻, crying. The mother asked him whether he had done anything to deserve the beathing, and he answered thus: "No, mother, I had done nothing wrong. I did not lick the havis, nor did I even look at it." Hearing her son鈥檚 reply 厂补谤补尘腻 in deep anguish, went to 碍耻谤耻办峁�e迟谤补 and questioned Janamejaya as to why her innocent son was beaten by his brothers. Neither he nor his brothers replied to 厂补谤补尘腻, and she cursed Janamejaya that he would be subjected to ad峁涐梗峁璦phala (unforeseen results). This curse upset Janamejaya so much that after the Sarpa Satra was over and on his return to 贬补蝉迟颈苍腻辫耻谤补 he made a search for a Purohita (priest) competent enough to redeem him from his sins, and at last he invited Soma艣ravas, son of the great sage 艢谤耻迟补艣谤补惫补蝉 to be his Purohita, and thus did Soma艣ravas become the priest of Janamejaya (膧di Parva, Chapter 3).

Successors of Janamejaya.

Janamejaya had two sons, Candr膩p墨岣峚 and Sury膩p墨岣峚 by his wife 碍腻艣测腻. Hundred sons, experts in archery, were born to Candr膩p墨岣峚. The eldest of them, Satyakar峁嘺, ruled the country after Janamejaya. Satyakar峁嘺 had a son called 艢vetakar峁嘺 to whom was born a son called Ajap膩r艣va by his wife 驰腻诲补惫墨, the daughter of 厂耻肠腻谤耻. (Bhavi峁�ya Parva, Chapter 1).

On the occasion were also present sage 艢补尘墨办补 and his son 艢峁涐箙驳墨. (膧艣ramav膩sika Parva, Chapter 35)
