Arjuna

Japanese: アルジュナ(英語表記)Arjuna
Arjuna
A hero who appears in the great Indian epic poem, the Mahabharata. He is the most valiant of the five princes of Pandu. One day, he fought with the god Shiva, who was in the form of a mountain man, and Shiva praised his bravery by bestowing him with weapons such as the divine spear Pāśupata. He also played a major role in the great war against the 100 princes of the Kuru kingdom. The famous Bhagavad Gita is the teaching of Krishna (an incarnation of the god Vishnu) to him.
