: Kriya yoga, sometimes called Karma Yoga, is also expounded in Chapter 3 of the Bhagavad Gita, where Arjuna is encouraged by Krishna to act without attachment to the results or fruit of action and activity.

After defeating all of Arjuna's brothers, Karna asked his charioteer, Shalya, to drive his chariot to where Arjuna was standing.

This is based on quotations from the Bhagavata Purana, such as " krsnas tu bhagavan svayam ", translated as " Krishna is the original Personality of Godhead " and from the Bhagavad Gita where Arjuna, when speaking to Krishna, states:

The plot is roughly based on the Hindu sacred text the Bhagavad Gita, where the Warrior / Hero Arjuna ( R. Junuh ) refuses to fight.

* The confrontation of Arjuna and Ashwatthama in Mahabharata, where Arjuna retracts his weapon as ordered, but Ashwatthama, unable to do so, instead sends it to attack Arjuna's unborn grandson, Parikshit, who is subsequently saved by Krishna.

The earliest version of the legend, which appears in the epic Mahabharata, narrates that the thousand-armed Haihaya king, Kartavirya Arjuna, destroyed Jamadagni's hermitage and captured the calf of Kamadhenu.

The Padma Purana mentions that when Kartavirya Arjuna tried to capture her, Kamadhenu, by her own power, defeated him and his army and flew off to heaven ; the enraged king then killed Jamadagni.

In the Haihaya line, Krtavirya was succeeded by his son Arjuna Kartavirya, who was a mighty king.

He immediately offered Karna the throne of the kingdom of Anga, making him a king and hence eligible to fight a duel with Arjuna.

Indra, the king of the gods ( Devas ) and the father of Arjuna, realized that Karna would be invincible in battle and unable to be killed as long as he had the golden armour and earrings that he had been born with, so he conceived a plot to weaken Karna.

During his duel with Arjuna, when, by a blow from one of Karna's arrows Arjuna is rendered unconscious, the cobra king Ashwasen creeps out of hiding from Karna's chariot and asks Karna if he may use his poison against Arjuna, because Arjuna had burnt his forest to the ground.

Maya, to show gratitude to Arjuna for not killing him, made the great palatial sabha ( hall ) for king Yudhisthira, on the land cleared after burning the Khandava forest.

As the conflict developed among the Jamadagni and the King, Kartavirya Arjuna lost his cool and chopped off the head of Jamadagni. When Parashurama ( Jamadagni's son and one of the DaśāvatārasVishnu ) returned to the hermitage, he was informed of the context by his mother. In revenge, Parashurama killed the entire clan of Kartavirya Arjuna and the King with the axe given to him by Shiva, thus conquering the entire earth, which he gave to Brahamanas.

In another legend, Kartavirya Arjuna visited the hermitage of Jamadagni, and was received by that sage's wife Renuka with all respect ; but he made an ill return for her hospitality, and carried off by violence " the calf of the milch-cow of the sacred oblation.
