Jaidratha's Boons

Jaidratha's Boons

Jaidratha was humiliated by the way the Pandavas punished him. He could not go back to his kingdom with his head shaven, so he stayed back in the forest. He performed tapasya. Pleased with his devotion, Shiva appeared and granted him a boon. Jaidratha asked that he could defeat the Pandavas. Shiva said, It is not possible. But in a battle you will be able to stop all the Pandavas except Arjuna, for a day.
