Arjuna is defeated in the war and taken prisoner, but King Mordhwaj helps him and releases him with respect.
Arjuna is saddened by this incident and shares his pain with Shri Krishna. Then Shri Krishna tells him that Mordhwaj is full of his supreme devotion. To break Arjuna’s ego, Lord Krishna takes him to Mordhwaj’s court in the guise of a saint. Mordhwaj agrees to sacrifice his son Tamradhwaj without any fear or greed. When everything is over, King Mordhwaj prays to God to protect the true religion. Seeing his devotion, Lord Krishna appears in his real form and brings Tamradhwaj back to life.
