Explanation

Sanjay refers to Arjun as “Kapi Dhwaj,” which translates to “Monkey Bannered.” This indicates the presence of Hanuman, the Monkey God, on Arjuna’s chariot. It so occurred that Arjun boasted about his archery talents and made a remark to Shree Krishna. “I don’t understand why the monkeys worked so hard to build a bridge from India to Lanka with huge stones during Lord Rama’s time,” he added. If I had been there, I would have built an arrow bridge.” “Alright, go ahead and show me your bridge,” the Omniscient Lord said.

Extremely deftly Arjun sent down thousands of arrows and built a massive bridge. Everything was now time to put it to the test. Shree Krishna entrusted the task to the mighty Hanuman. The bridge began to crumble under Hanuman’s feet as soon as he began walking on it. Arjun understood his error; his arrow bridge could not have supported the weight.

Hanuman taught Arjun to be modest and never boast about his abilities. He also promised Arjun that he would seat himself in Arjuna’s chariot during the Great War As a result, Arjuna’s chariot flag was emblazoned with the Hanuman symbol.
