Kartavirya Arjuna is a legendary king of the Haihayas in Hindu tradition, said to have ruled from Mahishmati on the Narmada and to have had a thousand arms. The Puranas tell of his victory over Ravana and of his seizure of the sage Jamadagni's cow, for which Parashurama killed him. Medieval dynasties such as the Kalachuris claimed descent from him.
