Perundevanar is dated to Nandivarma III of Thellar fame.
Arjuna's main enemy was Karna.Karna was a surya putra.Even though the world did not know it,every one knew that his kavacha kundala was bestowed by Suryaand protected by him. Hanuman had swallowed surya himself.To remind karna of the same , he had put hanuman in his banner. Regards,S.KarthikVandemataram
Hanuman Thought that Surya is a fruit. But subsequently, he learnt from surya as a student. Hence it may notbe to remind Karna.
He said that he will roar from the flag and that alone will be enough to instill fear.

Once the war was over - Krishna asked Arjuna to step down first. Then Hanuman went out from the flag. Then Krishna got down from the chariot.
The Chariot immediately went into flames. All the astras could not do anything as long as Krishna and Hanuman were there. Once they got down, the chariot went inti flames.
