The [b]Pashupatastra[/b] ([url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IAST"]IAST[/url]: Pāśupatāstra, [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sanskrit"]sanskrit[/url]: पाशुपतास्त्र), in [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hindu_History"]Hindu History[/url], is the irresistible and most destructive personal weapon of [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kali"]Kali[/url] and [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shiva"]Shiva[/url], discharged by the mind, the eyes, words, or a bow. Never to be used against lesser enemies or by lesser warriors, the Pashupatastra is capable of destroying creation and vanquishing all beings. [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pashupatinath_Temple"]PashupatiNath[/url] is the most important of all[url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shiva_temple"]Shiva temples[/url] located in [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kathmandu"]Kathmandu[/url], [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nepal"]Nepal[/url]. Pashupatastra is the weapon of PashupatiNath.[/size][/font][/color][color=#000000][font=sans-serif][size=3]
It was used in the [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mahabharata_war"]Mahabharata war[/url] by [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arjuna"]Arjuna[/url] to kill [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jayadratha"]Jayadratha[/url]. It was used against [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lakshmana"]Lakshmana[/url] by [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meghanada"]Meghanada[/url]. It is returned without causing any harm since it can be used only to uphold [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dharma"]Dharma[/url]. [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bhishma"]Bhishma[/url] also had this weapon which he would have used against [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parashurama"]Parashurama[/url] in a war against him. This weapon was not known to Parasurama. It would put Parasurama to sleep in the battlefield. A person who sleeps in the battlefield is considered to be dead as per Vedas. However the weapon was never used as Devas warned him from the sky that "If He uses this weapon it would be a great insult towards his Guru". Parshurama felt really proud of Bhishma but said "He will not walk away from the battlefield, either Bhishma has to kill him or he can withdraw". Bhishma humbly walked out from the war and saying that" He was never interested to fight his Guru, he did it only because his Guru asked him to do so".[/size][/font][/color]
