Sahasrabahu Arjun

Kartavirya Arjuna was a king of an ancient Haihay as kingdom with capital at Mahishmati which is on the banks of Narmada River in the current state of Madhya Pradesh. Kartavirya was son of Kritavirya, king of the Haihayas. According to the Puranas, Haihaya was the grandson of Sahasrajit, son of Yadu. This is his patronymic, by which he is best known; he is also referred to simply as Arjuna. He is described as having a thousand hands and a great devotee of god Dattatreya.

One of the several such accounts states that Arjuna conquered Mahishmati city from Karkotaka Naga, a Naga chief and made it his fortress-capital.

Almost 100 manuscripts on the worship of Kritaviryahave been found mostly in the royal libraries of the Hindu Rajas. The states in which the manuscripts are still available are: Udaipur, Jodhpur, Kota, Bikaner, Bharatpur, and Alwar of Rajasthan, and further in Mysore.

Kartavirya's power is popularly told in the Ramayana, Uttara Kanda, which is not often considered to be the part of the original Valmiki Ramayana and its constituent 6 adhyayas, since the original Ramayana speaks of the number of verses and the shlokas in Ramayana – Verse 2 of Chapter IV of Baala Kaanda of Srimad Valmiki Ramayana reads as:

चतुर्विंशत्सहस्त्राणिश्लोकानामुक्तवानृषिः | तथासर्गशतान्पञ्चषट्काण्डानितथोत्तरम् ||

Kartavirya is considered to be the contemporary of Ravana. The story goes that once when Kartavirya Arjuna was having a bath in the river Narmada along with his wives, he stopped the force of the river with his thousand arms from both sides. The teenage Dasagriva (Ravana), who was singing the hymns of Shiva and praying to him, made him lose his concentration. Enraged, he challenged the former for combat in which Ravana was defeated and was put to humiliation. Then, on request of his paternal grandfather Pulastya the great emperor Kartavirya Arjuna released Ravana.

Another account states that when Ravana came "in the course of his campaign of conquest to Kunnamkulam (the capital of Kartavirya), he was captured without difficulty, and was confined like a wild beast in a corner of his city."

The Vayu Purana states that Kartavirya invaded Lanka, and there took Ravana as prisoner, but later he was killed by Parashurama and Ravana was rescued from Arjuna.

कार्तवीर्य अर्जुन हैहय साम्राज्य के एक प्राचीन राजा थे, जिनकी राजधानी वर्तमान मध्य प्रदेश राज्य में नर्मदा नदी के तट पर महिष्मती थी। कार्तवीर्य हैयानों के राजा वीर्य का पुत्र था। पुराणों के अनुसार हय्या, हय्यादु के पुत्र सहस्रजीत का पोता था। यह उनका संरक्षक नाम है जिसके द्वारा वे सबसे अधिक जाने जाते हैं; उन्हें केवल अर्जुन के नाम से भी जाना जाता है। उनका वर्णन एक हजार हाथों वाले और भगवान दत्त त्रेया के महान भक्त के रूप में किया गया है। ऐसे कई वृत्तांतों में से एक में कहा गया है कि अर्जुन ने महिष्मती शहर को नागा प्रमुख कर्कोटकनाग से जीत लिया और इसे अपनी गढ़-राजधानी बना लिया।
