The heroes of the two epics, Ramayana and Mahabharata, have become one
with the lives of countless generations of Indians. Their characters are
imprinted on peoples' minds, sometimes even more firmly than those of
their brethren around. Stories are built by bringing them together,
however apart they may have been in time and place in the epics
themselves. Hanuman the superman ape of Ramayana had the capacity to
grow in size at will and to dash over lands and seas across the sky.
Arjuna the Pandava hero of Mahabharata was a great archer with
inexhaustible stock of arrows. A folk story brings the two face to face
to test each others' powers. In the second story from Mahabharata
itself, Arjuna wins favors from the fire-god, by winning a victory over
Indra, the chief of gods. The third story tells how Arjuna once became
vain and boastful even with his mentor Krishna, who put him in his
proper place.
