Yudhishtir asked Arjun to leave for the Himalayas to perform
austerities to please Shiva. Shiva disguised himself as a hunter and approached
Arjun. As he approached him a wild boar
appeared at attached Arjun. Arjun lifted the bow and brought him down. Shiva
has shot arrows and the same time and they fought about who killed it. Arjun
shattered the hunter’s crown and because of this the hunter knocked Arjun out. Arjun prayed to Shiva and then realized the hunter was Shiva. Shiva gave him the
bow and blessed him.
