Click on this slide show to know the full story…Arjun had picked up a weapon to kill Yudhishthir. This incident is mentioned in Karna Parva of Mahabharat. According to this incident, after the death of Guru Dronacharya, Karna was made the senapati of the Kaurava’s army. Soon after becoming the Senapati, Karna created a lot of trouble in the army of the Pandavas.
Seeing his army reducing day-by-day by the attacks of Karna and his army, Yudhishthir got angry and started to attack Karna’s army. That time Duryodhan suggested Karna to capture Yudhishthir and put him in jail. A fierce battle between Karna and Yudhishthir began. Karna with his sharp arrows injured Yudhishthir.

Seeing Yudhishthir injured, the sarathi took him away from the battle field. To capture Yudhishthir, Duryodhan and other warriors ran after him, but Nakul and Sahdev stopped them in between by attacking them. Yudhishthir was ashamed after losing from Karna.

he became very sad and went to Krishna’s Chavani to see Yudhishthir.
Seeing Arjun and Krishna together, Yudhishthir thought that Arjun has defeated Karna by killing him and taken his revenge. Thinking so he smiled and hugged Arjun. But he soon came to know the truth.
When Yudhishthir came to know that Arjun has not killed Karna, he got very angry and started telling Arjun a lot of bad things. He asked Arjun to give away his weapons to someone else. Listening to this, Arjun got angry and picked up his weapon (sword) to kill Yudhishthir.

Krishna, however, came in between and stopped Arjun from attacking. But Arjun told Krishna 
that he had taken an oath that whoever asks him to give away his weapons, he would cut his head. He said that he is helpless to do so.

Listening to Arjun, Krishna taught him about religion and narrated him a story. Then Arjun asked Krishna to suugest a way in which his oath does not go waste and at the same time he does not have to kill Yudhishthir
Krishna suggested him that a person only lives till the time he is respected. The day he loses his respect he becomes as good as dead. Krishna asked Arjun to disrespect Yudhishthir.
Krishna told Arjun that instead of addressing him with respect, address him as if he is not your elder. It is non-religious and he will lose his respect. This disrespect will be as good as killing him.

After listening to Krishna, Arjun went up to Yudhishthir and started insulting him for various things.

However, after insulting his elder brother Yudhishthir, Arjun got very upset. He lost his cool and picked up his sword again. Krishna asked him the reason for picking his sword again. Arjun said that I have insulted my brother and as a punishment, I will cut my own head.
Krishna explained Arjun again that the punishment in hell is worse for killing oneself than for killing brother. Krishna asked him to praise himself too much as this will mean killing oneself. 

Listening to Krishna, Arjun praised himself non-stop and threw his weapons. He then touched his head to Yudhishthir’s feet and asked for forgiveness. He then got ready to go to the battle field.
Yudhishthir told Arjun that he is in trouble because of his (Yudhishthir) foolishness and therefore he does not deserve to be here. Saying so, Yudhishthir went to the forest.
However Krishna reminded Yudhishthir about Arjun’s oath and stopped from going to the forest.Yudhishthir agreed to stay and help his brothers in the war against the Kauravas.
