I would like to put in a request that Arjuna be placed into a disambiguation and an article on the plant Terminalia Arjuna and its purported medicinal properties to be written.
- oppose - the disambig link from the top of the page is sufficient. Imc 15:34, 4 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Meaning of the name
I thought Arjuna meant bright, shining, silver? 'Doer of pure deeds' sounds rather made up. Imc 15:34, 4 November 2005 (UTC)
when did pandu meet krishna? It just sounds ridiculous. Somebody please correct this error
[edit] Arjuna and Arash
I have edited the article to arrange for the legend of Arash to parallel with Arjuna, as opposed to the other way around. Arjuna's article (and the history it details, for that matter) is far more encompassing, and its brevity far more profound. As such, it is only fitting that the legend of Arash be seen in light of Arjuna's highly revered station within the Mahabharata. I have nevertheless still illustrated the common ancestry of the cultures.

- I have pointed out that the link is tenuous. For one, nowhere in either article are the striking similarities shown. Second, its increasingly clear according to Indian sources, and modern genetic research, that the Indian culture draws from a local lineage, and is not from an overarching Indo-Iranian/ Aryan one. Hence, unless more references are provided- Arash and Arjunas similarities remain conjecture. (Archerblack)
[edit] Anime
I changed "Earth Girl Arjuna" to "Earth Maiden Arjuna" to match the rename of the anime article. Argel1200 19:48, 1 July 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Mbharat7a.gif
Image:Mbharat7a.gif is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

[edit] Arjuna and Hanuman
Maybe i am mistaken, but i think the encounter with hanuman took place with Bhima, the second of the five brothers and who was also the strongest of all.Ajjay (talk) 14:50, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
