Arjun, upon seeing Ram-Setu at Rameshwaram, wondered aloud why Ram had taken help of monkeys to build the bridge than building a bridge of arrows. Hearing this, a small monkey appeared before Arjun challenging him to build a bridge of arrows capable of bearing his weight alone. After each attempt of Arjun, the monkey would step on the bridge and the bridge would break. Dejected, Arjun decided to take his life. At this point Lord Krishna intervened, and chided the monkey, who was Lord Hanuman, for making Arjun feel incompetent and Arjun for his vanity. As an act of penitence, Hanuman decided to help Arjuna by stabilizing and strengthening his chariot during the imminent great battle of Kurukshetra.
During the battle of Kurukshetra, Arjuna fought with a
flag displaying Hanuman on his chariot. After the victory of his side, he and Lord Krishna thanked Lord Hanuman for his help and stepped down from the chariot. Hanuman came in his original form, bowed to Krishna and left the flag, flying away into the sky. As soon as he left the flag, the chariot began to burn and turned into ashes. Krishna told the shocked Arjun, that the only reason his chariot was still standing was because of the presence of Himself and Hanuman, otherwise, it would have burnt many days ago due to effects of celestial weapons thrown at it in the war.
