Arjuna starts his journey

Arjuna traveled northwards. Crossing the Himalayas, he reached the mountain of Gandhamadana. He crossed that till he came to the mountain called Chandrakila. A voice said Do not venture further. Rest here. Humans are not allowed beyond this.
Arjuan spotted a sage there with long matted hair. The sage said to Arjuna - WHo are you, clad in armor, carrying bow, arrows and swords. Why have you come to this mountain? Discard the weapons. If you get the grace of Gods, why do you need the weapons?
When Arjuna was quiet, the sage said - Ask for a boon. I am Indra.

Arjuna asked for weapons. Indra said, First please Shiva and get his blessings.
