" My mother and brothers have taken the path of Adharma (not being righteous), hence they could not get Amrutham. It is better I leave them instead of living this life with them" thought AdiSesha. He left the house in renunciation ( Vairagya). He performed penance on sacred mountains like Gandhamadana, Badarivanam, Gokarna and Himalaya for many thousands of years for Lord Brahma. Lord Brahma appeared and granted him a wish.
AdiSesha refused to take a wish and said " My mother and brother have become one and are in the path of Adharma. They betrayed Vinatha and her son Garuthmantha, our turn is completed. Now it is their turn to take revenge. Hence I left the path of Adharma and I am doing penance for salvation until I die". Lord Brahma said " If you are disheartened then it is not good for the world. You are the great serpent born to bear the world. You are Truthful and Righteous. Dont just waste away by accepting death, take up the responsibility of bearing the weight of the world for thousands of years to come. Garuthmantha is your brother, you better be in good terms with him. This is good for you and for the entire world." From then onwards AdiSesha has been bearing Earth for times immemorial.
Vasuki was terrified thinking about his mothers curse and Janamejaya's Sarpa Yagam. He then invited all his relatives and brother Iravatha for a conference and said " Our elder brother AdiSesha is bearing the earth by doing penance, he is not concerned about us. He never thinks about the calamity that is going to wipe us out. I was the rope used in SamudraMadhanamu, hence the Gods bestowed me with a blessing that I shall not be scared for death. But I still am concerned about you people being destroyed. How can we reverse our Mother's curse? Let me know what we can do".
Some serpents said " Let us stop this Sarpa Yagam from happening", some others said " Lets go in disguise of Brahmanas and tell him that this is unfair and not righteous as Janamejaya will not do Adhrama". Some serpents said " Lets go in disguise of his ministers and tell him that this is not good for the entire world", some notorious serpents said " Lets creep on food, people who come for Yagna and the Brahmanas and sages who utter mantras and frighten them". Some senior serpents said " These cannot be implemented, once the holy verses are hymned by the Brahmanas, we all will fall in to the fire and burn to death". Then how can this be prevented?
Elaputra, brother of Vasuki came forward and said that he knew something about the curse and said " The day mother cursed you, I was a small baby sleeping in her lap. I heard Lord Brahma and other Gods talking about the curse, let me tell you that in detail. The Gods questioned Brahma saying " How could you let this happen. How can Kadruva curse the mighty and strong snakes for a bad cause." Brahma replied saying " Mother BhuDevi cannot bear those who cause harm to the world, hence the bad snakes have to die. This is the reason I kept quiet. Vasuki's sister Jaratkaru will marry the sage Jaratkaru and bear a son named Asthika. He is the great one who will interrupt the Sarpa Yagam and stop it. All the great serpents who are required for the world will survive". Elaputra said that this is what he heard and is the truth in entirety.

Vasuki and all the other serpents were extremely happy and they started to wait for Jaratkaru who would come and marry his sister Jaratkaru.
