[ Arjuna was so called because he was 'white' or pure in actions' (fuaui atarei auf 04:14: A FÁJ ATASA lag:). He was taught the use
of arms by Drona and was his favourite pupil. By his skill in urms he won Braupadi at her Svayamvara (see Draupadi). For an involuntary transgression he went into temporary exile and during that time he learnt the science of arms from Parasurama. He married Ulupi, a Naga Princess, by whom he had a son named Iravat, and also Chitrāngada, daughter of the king of Manipura, who bore him a son named Babhruvāhana. During this exile he visited Dvăraka, and with the help and advice of Krisna succeeded in marrying Subhadra. By her he had a son named Abhimanyu. Afterwards he obtained the bow (Gandiva from the god Agni whom he assisted in burning the Khānilava forest. When Dharma, his eldest brother, lost the kingdom by gambling, and the five brothers went into exile, he went to the Himalayas to propitiate the gods and to obtain froin the celestial weapons for use in the contemplated war against the Kauravas. There he fought with Siva who appeared in the disguise of a Kirata; but when he discovered the true character of his adversary he worshipped him and Siva gave him the Pasupatāstra. Indra, Varung, Yama and Kubera also presented him with their own weapons. In the 13th year of their exile, the Pandavas entered the service of the King of Virata and he had to act the part of a eunuch, and music and dancing master. In the great war with the Kauravas Arjuna took a very distinguished part. He recured the assistance of Krisna who acted as his charioteer and related to him the Bhagavadgita when on the first day of the battle he hesitated to bend his bow against his own kinsinen. In the course of the great struggle he slew or vanguished several redoubtable warriors on the side of the Kauravas, such as Jayadratha, Bhisma, Karna &c. After Yudhisthira had been installed sovereign of Hastinapura, he resolved to perform the Asvamedha sacrifice, and a horso was let loose with Arjuna as its guardian. Arjuna followed it through many cities and Countries and fought with many kings. At the city of Manipura he had to fight with his Ownson Babhruvāhans und w: killed; but he was restored to life by : charm supplied by his wife Ulupi. He traversed the whole of Bharatakhanda and returned to lastinapura, loaded with spoils and tributes, and the great horse-sacrifice was then duly performed. He was afterwards called by Krisna to Dvarakā amid the internecine struggles of the Yāda vas and there he performed the funeral ceremonies of Vasudeva and Krişna. Soon after this the five Pandavas repaired to heaven having installed Pariksit -the only surviving son of Abhimanyu- on the throne of Hastinapura.
