The states in which the manuscripts are still available are: Udaipur, Jodhpur, Kota, Bikaner, Bharatpur, and Alwar of Rajasthan, and further in Mysore.

The teenage Dasagriva (Ravana), who was singing the hymns of Shiva and praying to him, made him lose his concentration.

Then, on request of his paternal grandfather Pulastya the great emperor Kartavirya Arjuna released Ravana.

Another account states that when Ravana came "in the course of his campaign of conquest to Kunnamkulam (the capital of Kartavirya), he was captured without difficulty, and was confined like a wild beast in a corner of his city."

[10] He was born on the Earth in order to face the power of Vishnu in the contest with the Shaktyavesha Avatar Parashurama.

The kshatriyas of his age, on account of their war with the Bhargava clan over property, became unrighteous and began oppressing and slaying innocent Brahmins, etc.

On this count, the Jivatma Parashurama (destined to be a future Saptarishi) was born with the God Vishnu's divine strength and power to rid the Earth of unjust rulers.

In the Mahabharata Vana Parva, according to the story of Akritavana, Kartavirya Arjuna became drunk with power, despite all the boons he had acquired.

When Parashurama (Jamadagni's son and one of the Daśāvatāras of Vishnu) returned to the hermitage, he was informed of the context by his mother.

[11] 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."

[citation needed] Arjuna hurled many weapons, rocks and trees at Parashurama, but the sage parried all these.

It is said that there was none who could rival him in Sacrifices, Charity, Learning, Austerity, Battlefield Exploits, Feats, Strength, Mercy, Generosity or Power.

The confusion arises because the Hindi letter "Sa" (स) merges with "ra" (र) and looks like "stra" (स्र).

Taking up his battle-axe, Rama suddenly put forth his power, and hacked that thousand-armed hero, like a tree of many branches.

Beholding him slain and prostrated on the earth, all his kinsmen, uniting together, and taking up their darts, rushed at Rama, who was then seated, from all sides.

Rama also, taking up his bow and quickly ascending on his car, shot showers of arrows and chastised the army of the king.

Of them that were unable, through fear of Rama, to discharge the duties ordained for their order, the progeny became Vrishalas owing to their inability to find Brahmanas.

[16] Later on, in 10th century, Chudasamas are mentioned as the Abhira Ranaka, in Hemachandra's reference to Graharipu in Dvyashraya.

Arjuna was willing to forgive as long as Sumantri could move Sriwedari Park from Mount Untarayana into Mahespati's palace.

He did triwikrama changing his form into a very large giant and while lying on the dam the flow of the river created a pond as a bathing place for Citrawati.

As a result, the river overflowed to flood the camp of Ravana king of Alengka who was on his way to expand the colony.

Because Citrawati is the reincarnation of Widawati, the woman Ravana loves, Hwana is increasingly eager to crush Mahespati's army.

After Suwanda died in the battle, Arjuna Sasrabahu woke up from his sleep and immediately attacked Ravana.

Seeing the torture, Batara Narada came down to deliver a message from heaven for Arjuna to release Ravana because the giant king was not destined to die.

With various tricks Ravana tried to eliminate Arjuna to launch his greedy act again and marry Citrawati.

One day when Arjuna was hunting alone in the forest to entertain himself, Ravana came to report to Citrawati that her husband had died in an accident.

Apparently he had received divine instructions that he could enter heaven if he died at the hands of Vishnu's incarnation through a fight.

Batara Narada descended from heaven to explain to Ramabargawa that Vishnu had long since left Arjuna's body.
