Ashwasena (a snake) who lived in the Khandava forest. He was Thakshaka's son, as per Mahabharata Adiparva Chapter 239 verse 5. Once, when Krishna and Arjuna were staying on the banks of the Yamuna in summer, Agni requested them to help him consume the Khandava forest. Arjuna agreed to help him, and Agni gave him the Gandiva, a white horse and several divine weapons. When Agni started consuming the forest, it began raining, at Indra's command. Arjuna made a layer of arrows to block the rain. Ashwasena tried to escape but was blocked by Arjuna's arrow. Ashwasena's mother swallowed him and helped him escape the fire, but Arjuna's arrrow beheaded her. Indra then tried to save Ashwasena by sending a fresh burst of wind and rains. Arjuna fell unconscious in that onslaught and Ashwasena managed to escape. When Arjuna awoke and couldn't find Ashwasena, he cursed that the snake would not find shelter anywhere, as per Mahabharata Adiparva Chapter 226. Ashwasena harboured a grudge against Arjuna for this. During the Mahabharata war, when Arjuna fought Karna, and Karna sent the nagastra against Arjuna, Aswasena hid in it and burned Arjuna's crown, but when the arrow returned, Karna refused to accept it. Ashwasena was further incensed and attacked Arjuna, but was killed as per Mahabharata Karnaparva Chapter 96.

Who wrote the book bhagavatam in sanskrit?
BHAGWAT GITA was told by Lord Krishna himself.The content of the text is a conversation between Krishna and Arjuna taking place on the battlefield of Kurukshetra just prior to the start of a climactic war. Responding to Arjuna's confusion and moral dilemma, Krishna explains to Arjuna his duties as a warrior and Prince and elaborates on a number of different Yogic and Vedantic philosophies, with examples and analogies. This has led to the Gita often being described as a concise guide to Hindu philosophy and also as a practical, self-contained guide to life. During the discourse, Krishna reveals his identity as the Supreme Being Himself (Bhagavan), blessing Arjuna with an awe-inspiring glimpse of His divine absolute form.The Bhagavad Gita (meaning "Song of God") is a Sanskrit text from the Bhishma Parva of the Mahabharata epic. Due to differences in recensions they may be numbered in the full text of the Mahabharata as chapters 6.25 - 42 or as chapters 6.23-40. According to the recension of the Gita commented on by Shankaracharya, the number of verses is 700, but there is evidence to show that some old manuscripts had 745 verses.Krishna, as the speaker of the Bhagavad Gita, is referred to within as Bhagavan (the divine one), and the verses themselves, using the range and style of Sanskrit meter (chandas) with similes and metaphors, are written in a poetic form that is traditionally chanted; hence the title, which translates to "the Song of the Divine One". The Bhagavad Gita is revered as sacred by the majority of Hindu traditions, and especially so by followers of Krishna. It is commonly referred to as The Gita.The common belief is that it is a conversation between Lord Sri Krishna and Arjuna. It's true but it's half true. Bhagavad Geetha is told by Lord Krishna long back before the times of Mahabharata. But it's retold to Arjuna in the Battlefield again in order to remind people.And it is documented by Veda Vyasa Muni.
