How can I popd to a specific directory?

I have used pushd to move about to various directories and now if I run dirs -v I get: 0 ~/Desktop 1 /etc 2 /var/log 3 ~/Downloads 4 /tmp How can I popd to a specific directory in the middle of the stack?, e.g option 2: /var/log man bash says > +n Removes the nth entry counting from the left of the list shown > by dirs, starting with zero. For example: \``popd +0'' removes the > first directory, ``popd +1'' the second. I've tried * ``popd +0'' * popd +3 And it pops the correct directory off the stack, but doesn't change the current working directory. How can I popd the particular directory and change the current working directory to the "popped" dir?
