Anu, when I saw the subject "Parthian shot" and then saw Arjuna, for a moment I wondered whether Parthian was derived from Partha (Arjuna's other name) but of course, this was a rather long shot!

Arjuna had only one other name? That hardly seems fair.He should borrow some from his charioteer - he had plenty to spare, na?
