II~SHAHEER SHEIKH~II **Aparaajit Dhanurdhari Arjun** AT#4 - Page 32

Krishna suggested him that a person only lives till the time he is respected. The day he loses his respect he becomes as good as dead. Krishna asked Arjun to disrespect Yudhishthir. After listening to Krishna, Arjun went up to Yudhishthir and started insulting him for various things. However, after insulting his elder brother Yudhishthir, Arjun got very upset. He lost his cool and picked up his sword again. Krishna asked him the reason for picking his sword again. Arjun said that I have insulted my brother and as a punishment, I will cut my own head.Krishna explained Arjun again that the punishment in hell is worse for killing oneself than for killing brother. Krishna asked him to praise himself too much as this will mean killing oneself. Listening to Krishna, Arjun praised himself non-stop and threw his weapons. He then touched his head to Yudhishthir's feet and asked for forgiveness. He then got ready to go to the battle field. Yudhishthir told Arjun that he is in trouble because of his (Yudhishthir) foolishness and therefore he does not deserve to be here. Saying so, Yudhishthir went to the forest. However Krishna reminded Yudhishthir about Arjun's oath and stopped from going to the forest. Yudhishthir agreed to stay and help his brothers in the war against the Kauravas.
