Story of Sahastrabahu Arjuna and Ravan: Ravana was the conqueror of Trilok. He was very powerful. Seeing his powers even the gods were afraid of him. He was a great devotee of Shiva. He had cut off his head and offered it to Lord Shankar. Ravana had performed rigorous penance from Mahadev and Brahma ji and obtained boons. Because of these blessings and powers, Ravana was drowned in ego.

Due to arrogance, Ravana started considering himself the most powerful, but he was defeated by Sugriva’s brother Bali. Everyone knows the story of the war between Ravana and Bali, but apart from Bali, there was another glorious king from whom Ravana was defeated. Not only this, he had even captured Ravana. Let us know about this story.

according to legend…

According to the legend, in Treta Yuga there was a glorious king named Kartavirya Sahastrabahu Arjun. He is also known as Kartavirya Arjun. Thousand-armed Arjuna has been given the status of God by considering him as the incarnation of Sudarshan Chakra of Lord Vishnu. He was born from the womb of mother Padmini in the house of Maharaj Kartavirya in the Haihaya dynasty. He became the king of Maheshwar (ancient name Mahishmati), the holy city of Khargone in Madhya Pradesh. Thousand-armed Arjun was very strong.

When Ravana, the king of Lanka, came to know about the bravery of the thousand-armed Arjun, he went to his city to defeat him. After reaching there, Ravana started doing penance on the banks of Narmada to please Lord Shiva and ask for a boon. At a short distance, Sahastrabahu Arjun along with his wives reached the Narmada river to take bath.

He started doing water sports there and stopped the flow of Narmada river with his thousand arms. When the flow of the river stopped, its water started flowing from the banks, due to which Ravana’s penance was disrupted. This made Ravana angry and started a war with the thousand-armed Arjun. Then the thousand-armed Arjun defeated Ravana badly in the war and captured him.

Thousand-armed Arjun had kept Ravana captive in prison for six months in the city of Mahishmati. Later Ravana was released on the request of Ravana’s grandfather Maharishi Pulastya.
