Hemakuta

At the valley of Mount Hemakuta, they entered a wonderful forest. A huge snake, eighty miles long, crept out of this forest. This snake began to swallow elephants and spew poisonous flames in all directions. Krishna's sons shot at her with streams of arrows, and as a result, when the snake was killed, a gandharva emerged from it. After bowing to the sons of Krishna, he climbed the vimana and flew to the heavenly abode." King Bahulashva asked: “O great sage, who was is this gandharva in his past life? You know the past present and future, please tell me about it." Sri Narada replied, “This Gandharva was formerly called Sumati. One day, desiring to hear the glories of Lord Rama, he went to the place where Hanuman was meditating on the Lord. When Sumati broke Hanuman's meditation and delivered him many worries, Hanuman became angry with him and cursed to become a snake. When Sumati fell at his feet and begged for forgiveness, Hanuman told him that he freed from this curse in Dvapara-yuga when the sons of Krishnas will kill him with their arrows.
