Arjuna¹ Kārtavīrya, Haihaya king. § 169 (Paraçu-Rāma): I, 104, 4173 (*Haihayādhipatiḥ*; killed by Paraçu-Rāma).—§ 376 (Tīrthay.): III, 85, 8273 (*Kārtavīryārjuno yathā*).—§ 394 (Tīrthay.): III, 115: The Haihaya king Arjuna had 1,000 arms, and, by the favour of Dattātreya, he had obtained a golden vimāna that could proceed everywhere without obstruction, and ruled over all beings (*Bhūtān!*). The gods and ṛṣis asked Viṣṇu to kill him. On his celestial vimāna, Arjuna affronted Indra, when he was sporting with Çaçī. After having held a consultation with Indra, Viṣṇu went to his hermitage Badarī (for continuation v. Jamadagni), 10135 (*Haihayādhipatiḥ*), 10140.—§ 397 (Jamadagni): III, 116: Once, when the sons of Jamadagni had gone out, Arjuna Kārtavīrya, the lord of the country near the sea-shore (*Anūpapatiḥ*), came to the hermitage, and, being received hospitably by Reṇukā (the wife of Jamadagni), carried off the calf of the *homadhenu* and pulled down the trees. As Jamadagni told Rāma this, Rāma rushed towards Arjuna, and cut down his 1,000 arms with his arrows, and killed him. The heirs of Arjuna came while Rāma was away, and shot Jamadagni to death with their arrows.
