Arjuna is often remembered as the greatest archer of the Mahabharata. But being called the best does not mean he never faced defeat, pressure or moments when even he was pushed to his limits. In fact, the Mahabharata describes several battles where Arjuna faced warriors powerful enough to make the outcome uncertain. Some even forced Krishna to intervene. From Shiva appearing as a mysterious hunter to Bhishma, Drona, Karna and Ashwatthama, Arjuna faced challenges far beyond a simple contest of archery.
