reply: All this Arjuna
  • Hi Nithya, all correct except #2. Arjuna had two more sons, Iravan with Naga princess Uloopi and Babruvahana with Chitrangada, princess of Manipur. Both were born after the war, while he was one exile for a curse interrupting Yudhistr and Draupadi.

  • With Draupadi: Sruthakirthi

    Arjuna is son of Pandu (&Indra) but truth is he was a part of Lord
    Vishnu, in a form of a normal man.
    Krishna is Arjuna's antaratma, it is a classic when you see Arjuna
    encompassed by ego and Krsna steps out and shows it to him.

    For ex: Arjuna could not lift Kandeepam, post war.

    Also, Krsna's famous words 'Aham thvam sarva paapebyoh mokshaishyami
    Maa suchaha' - is directed towards the stage where Arjuna is torn
    between Karma and the word 'I'. Only the greatest of connection can
    warrant the above words, that connection was Nara - Narayana or
    Arjuna - Krsna.

  • In Vanaparva Krishna himself tells Arjuna that he is Nara and they are born together for a purpose. The beautiful Swaminarayan mandir has Nara Narayana forms in all their glory.
  • Arjuna & Krishna are NaraNarayana !
