Thousands of monkeys had crossed the sea by climbing on that bridge of Shri Ram, if I alone cross the bridge built by you, then tell me.” Arjun was also excited, he said okay, if the bridge breaks then I will burn to ashes in the fire.

He said it would take him a minute to win the war alone. Barbarik was the son of Ghatorghach and grandson of Bhima. Shiva awarded Barbarik with three powerful arrows which had the power to destroy all his opponents. But Shri Krishna did not want him to get involved in this war so he appointed a sage. He disguised himself as a saint and went to ask for donation in front of Barbarik. Then Barbarik recognized the sage and said that first you show your real face, only then I will donate to you.
