FAQs

Who is Kārtavīrya Arjuna in the Srimad Bhagavatam?

He is the son of King Kṛtavīrya, described here as the ruler of the entire earth (saptadvīpa) who gained great yogic power and qualities by the grace of Dattātreya, an expansion of Lord Hari.

What does the Bhagavatam say about Dattātreya and Lord Hari in this verse?

This verse identifies Dattātreya as “hareḥ aṁśa,” an expansion/portion of Lord Hari (Viṣṇu), from whom Kārtavīrya Arjuna received yoga and extraordinary virtues.

How can this verse be applied in modern spiritual life?

It teaches that true excellence—inner strength, discipline, and higher qualities—arises most securely through receiving guidance and mercy from a genuine, God-connected teacher and using power in alignment with dharma.
