Written by Irrattakulangara Rama Warrier, ‘Kiratham’ narrates the story of Arjuna’s penance to acquire a mighty weapon called ‘Pasupathasthra’ from Lord Shiva. The story is an excerpt from the Mahabharata.

While living in exile, at the request of Yudhishtira, Arjuna observes a tough penance to acquire the divine weapon. Eventually, Lord Shiva relents but only after teaching Arjuna the value of humility.

Lord Shiva and Parvathi appear before Arjuna, in the disguise of a Kattalan (hunter) and his wife. The arrogant Pandava prince is humbled by the Kattalan. Arjuna seeks forgiveness from Lord Shiva for engaging in a duel with him.
Arjuna’s devotion wins over Lord Shiva and the weapon is given to him.
