Then he came back to earth but before that he learnt the art of dancing and singing from his friend Chitrasena and he became quite an expert in these fine arts. The Urvashi curse will be of great help to Arjuna during the period of one year when they were to live in disguise. Indra said that he would request Urvashi to reduce her curse for a period of one year. Indra, being informed about Arjuna’s curse, came to him to console him. In the morning he told these things to a Gandharva, Chitrasena who he had befriended. Arjuna was dumb with the injustice done to him by Urvashi. Therefore, she declared, Arjuna, shall never be able to enjoy a woman’s company. She said it was not proper to refuse a woman, her desire. She took it as a great insult to be turned down by a mere mortal. Urvashi was very much mistaken,she thought Arjuna was interested in her as an admirer. Any other relationship was impossible even to contemplate.
He only regarded her as the beloved of his ancestor. That was the reason he was kept watching her in Indra’s court as a child looks at her mother whom he had never seen. A surprised Arjuna told her that he had heard about the great romance between her and his ancestor Pururva. Arjuna welcomed her with love, courtesy and honour. She became too overpowered by her desire for Arjuna. She also noticed Arjuna’s interest in her and the fire of love was kindled in her. All the apsaras, Rambha Urvashi, Menaka, Tilottama were there Arjuna watched all there performance and was very much fascinated. In the court of Indra all the Gandharva’s sang divine songs and all the beautiful apsaras gave dancing recitals. Arjuna spent some very pleasant time going around and seeing the world of Indra. This curse comes to pass during the battle between Arjuna and Babruvahana.Īrjuna was received with all love and affection by his father Indra. The Vasus, enraged by Arjuna’s deceptive tactic of using Shikandi as a shield to kill Bhishma (an incarnation of one of the eight Vasus), cursed Arjuna that he would be slain by his own son. Uloopi reviving Arjuna after Babhruvahana defeated and killed himĪrjuna’s death in the battle is also attributed to the curse of the Ashta-Vasus. However Arjuna’s snake-wife Uloopi resuscitates him to life by using the magical mritasanjivani gem owned bythe Nagas. Babruvahana kills his father in the ensuing battle.
The yaga horse enters the dominion of Manipur, where Arjuna challenges their King Babruvahana for a fight. Long after the battle of Kurukshetra, Yudhishthira decided to conduct the Aswamedha Yaga. A son, whom they named Babruvahana, was soon born to the couple.īabruvahana would succeed his grandfather as king of Manipur. Arjuna agreed to the stipulation that he would take away neither his wife Chitrangada nor any children borne by her from Manipur and wedded the princess on this premise. Her father demurred on the plea that, according to the matrilineal customs of his people, the children born of Chitrangada were heir to Manipur he could not allow his heirs to be taken away from Manipur by their father. There, he met Chitrangada, the daughter of the king of Manipur, and was moved to seek her hand in marriage. His visited Manipur in the eastern Himalayas, an almost mystic kingdom renowned for its natural beauty. Arjuna travelled through India during his term of exile of twelve years.
Curse of VasusĬhitrangada, in the Hindu epic Mahabharata, is one of Arjuna’s wives.
But this can be argued that though these have been curses, Arjuna was able to use them to his and Pandava’s advantage.

Mahabharata is full of incidents of curses, yet when curses are mentioned with reference to Mahabharata in Indian mythology, we would normally associate Karna, but Arjuna also had some curses.
