Arjuna and Hanuman Encounter
Arjuna ,as instructed by Lord Krishna went to every place to search for the divine weapons that could be used in the upcoming war and helped them to won war against Evil. Arjuna after gaining the Pashupatastra became boastful of his skills and possession of celestial weapons went towards Rameswaram and met the lord Hanuman in disguise.
He said to Hanuman that Lord Rama didn’t have to wait for that many days for the completion of the bridge if he would have been there.He would have done that with one arrow “.Hanuman replied that “Leave alone the Vanara Army your bridge of arrows wouldn’t have enough strength to carry the weight of mine”.This irritated Arjuna and he betted that he would build a bridge of arrows and if it crumbles under the feet of Hanuman he would jump into the fire and if it withstand the weight of Hanuman, he must adorn the banner of Arjuna.
Then Arjuna chanted some hymns and unleashed his arrow which created a bridge of arrows and when Hanuman just stepped onto the bridge it crumbles under the weight of Hanumana.Arjuna now had to fulfill his promise and prayed Lord Krishna before he jumped into the bridge and then Lord Krishna appeared.

Lord Krishna asked Hanuman to give Arjuna one more chance.Now this time
after Arjuna unleashed his arrow and built a bridge of arrows ,Krishna touched
the bridge with his toes before Hanuman could step over the bridge.The bridge
blessed by the divinity of Lord Krishna was capable enough to withheld even
when Hanuman jumped and dance on the bridge.Then Hanuman realised
that Lord Krishna was an incarnation of Lord Rama and he bowed before him
and agreed to adorn the banner of Arjuna to help them win the win over evil.
