How did Arjuna die in Mahabharata?

How did Arjuna die in Mahabharata? After Lord Shri Krishna's departure from this mortal world, Pandavas appoints Parikshit as successor of King's throne and retires to forest and travels towards heaven. On the way, one by one falls dead according to their nature, the first one being Draupadi (for having more love towards Arjun than others), Sahadev and Nakul for having pride on their intelligence and Looks. And next Arjun falls dead. When Bhim asks for reason, Arjun was more proud and over his archery skills and had pride that he was the most powerful warrior in the world. Next Bhim falls down, while falling he asks the reason to Yudhishtra, he replied him that he ate too much without thinking of others. Finally Yudhishtra alone reaches heaven with mortal body. Incident - 2 : Apart from the final death of Arjun during Swargarohan, there is another place where Arjun dies. But his life was restored back. Let us see : After Kurukshetra War, Yudhishtra rules Hastinapur, and one day he conducted Aswamedha Yagna. After the Yagna, as per ritual the horse was set to roam around the world and Arjun goes with the horse. When Arjuna went to Manipura with the horse intended for the Aswamedha Yagna, there was a quarrel between Arjuna and King Babhruvahana, without recgnising each other. Actually, Babruvahana was the son of Arjun and Chitrangada, Princess Of Manipur, during his thirtha yatra period. As a result of furious quarrel, they started to fight wit each other. And in the fight, Babruvahan kills Arjun (This was due to the curse of Vasus to Arjuna for the unjustified slaying of Bhishma). After the fight, Chitrangada arrives at the spot and was extremely shocked to see that and explains Babruvahana that he had killed his own father, which makes him also shocked. Without knowing what to do, they all surrender to Lord Shri Krishna, where he arrives and tells them to seek help from Ulupi, the Snake Princess, who is another wife of Arjun whom he married at the time of Theertha Yatra. Then after so many troubles, Ulupi somehow manages to get the "NaagMani", from Naglok through which she restores Arjun's life back. After realising that Babruvahan is his son, Arjun feels more happy towards his bravery and blesses him. And then he continues with the Aswamedha horse and completes the Yagna successfully .
