There was no swastika on Arjuna's chariot.

Letter to: Chaturbhus -- Bombay 29 December, 1971

 

"Thus the Skanda Purana describes six marks on Krsna's right foot - the

disc, flag, lotus, thunderbolt, elephant goad and barleycorn. And the

Vaisnava-tosani mentions even more marks - a vertical line beginning at the

middle of His foot and continuing as far as the juncture between His big toe

and second toe; an umbrella below the disc; at the base of the middle of His

foot, a group of four svastikas in the four cardinal directions; at the four

points where each svastika meets the next, four rose apples; and in the

middle of the svastikas, an octagon. This makes eleven marks on Krsna's

right foot."

SB 10.30.25 (purport by disciples of Srila Prabhupada)
