Arjuna said to Hanuman,–  I am a Kshatriya, so I will have to keep my word. Saying this  Arjuna remained firm in his resolve,

As Arjuna continued his preparations for self-immolation, to keep his promise made to Hanuman.

Lord Krishna, appeared in the form of Brahmin

In that moment of crisis, Lord Krishna, who had been silently observing everything, appeared in the form of a Brahmin. He inquired about the situation, and Arjuna explained his commitment to self-immolate.

The Brahmin asked, “Alright, tell me, when you two set your challenge, was there anyone else present who could arbitrate?”

Arjuna replied, “No, Maharaj, there was no one else but us.”

The Brahmin said, “The parties involved cannot decide the outcome of their own challenge. You need a neutral third party(referee) to make the final decision.”

Arjuna asked if he could rebuild the bridge again.

He affirmed, “Yes, I can reconstruct the bridge with my divine arrows.”

The Brahmin agreed to be the arbitrator(referee).

Arjuna swiftly reconstructed the bridge with his arrows.

Now it was Hanuman’s turn. He transformed back into his colossal form, and Arjuna was left wondering. But this time, the bridge remained intact as Hanuman crossed it.

Hanuman amazed to see the event

Arjuna and Hanuman were both amazed at the change of events. Realizing the divine intervention (As there was Krishna), Hanuman gracefully accepted his defeat.

Then, Krishna revealed his true identity and advised Arjuna to wait for the right moment to ask Hanuman for his boon.

Arjuna did as instructed by Sri Krishna..

When the Mahabharata war began, Lord Krishna reminded Arjuna of Hanuman’s blessing. Arjuna requested Hanuman for his boon. Then, Hanuman accepted his request and agreed to manifest on his chariot’s flag.

Thus, Hanuman appeared as the flag on Arjuna’s chariot and ensured its stability throughout the great war.

the “Kapi Dhwaja at Arjuna Chariot

This flag, carrying Hanuman’s symbol, is known as the “Kapi Dhwaja.”

During the battle, when Arjuna faced Karna, their chariots would move back five feet.

When Karna’s bow was drawn the chariot moved only a foot backward. Krishna praised Karna for this incredible feat.

Confused, Arjuna asked Krishna why he praised Karna when I moved their Chariot 5 feet back.

Krishna then humbly explained that Hanuman was on the chariot, bearing the weight of the three worlds. Still, your chariot could move a foot back.

When the battle ended, Krishna asked Arjuna to dismount the chariot first. Arjuna wondered why Krishna didn’t do it first. But Krishna insisted, and Arjuna got off the chariot. And then Hanuman was requested to get down,

The chariot turns into ashes

As soon as Hanuman gets down from the Chariot, it catches fire and the Chariot turns into ashes.

 Only then it was revealed that Hanuman himself, having protected Arjuna Chariot from so many Agvi Vaan all along.

Thus, Arjuna learned the importance of humility and not underestimating the help and support one receives from divine forces. Yes, Success is often due to the grace of a divine power.
