Arjuna was performing worship and austerities with gret concentration in order to propitiate Siva, but before He revealed Himself, He appeared before Arjuna as a hunter and entered into a scuffle with him. In the course of it, Arjuna hit him with these than with his austerities, Siva revealed Himself to him now.) |
