And there are various kinds of Divine and powerful weapons used in these battles, which were technologically so advanced that modern science is unable to fathom it yet.
Today, we are going to talk about some of those deadly weapons which were used during those historic times.
VASAVI SHAKTI belonged to Indra and had the power and certainty to kill anyone that it was used against. It was loaned to Karn to use it for one time and he preserved it so that he could kill Arjun.
However, by some tactical maneuvering, Karn was forced to use it against Ghatokacha instead. Thus, it was one of the only few weapons that threaten Arjuna.
VAJRASTRA is Indra’s most powerful weapon and is made from the spine of Sage Dadhichi.
In the story, Indra used the weapon to kill demon Vritra. Vajra is so powerful that the gods used it as an adjective to glorify power, for instance, in Gita, Bhagwan Krishn claims that he is Vajra.
Not only is it powerful, but it is also indestructible too.
NARAYANASTRA is Narayan’s weapon and is said to have a capacity of self-splitting into millions of self-guiding missiles with strong power of impact that’s proportional to the resistance offered. The only way to combat the weapon is to disarm it or else, surrender in front of it.
Drona, his son, and SriKrishn were the ones who knew about the weapon, and when Ashwatthama used it against Pandava armies, Krishna disarmed it as he knew the trick.
BRAHAMASTRA, though possessed by many gods and demi-gods,it was only used once in the entire epic of Mahabharata.
Brahamastra had power similar to that of a nuclear bomb; the complete annihilation of the place implanted, people get contaminated and suffer across generations. Hence, the use is restricted amongst the mortal.
Once, Karna decided to use it against Arjuna, but could not do so because of his mother’s pleading and also his teacher's curse.
BRAHAMASHIRA weapon was used by Ashwatthama against Pandavas, and in defence, by Arjuna.
When the nuclear fallout occurred, Sages Narada and Vyasa ordered to contain the effect. Brahmashira is considered 4 times more powerful weapon than Brahmastra.
When used, it can devastate the place to such great deal leaving it infertile for decades. Indrajit used it in Ramayana killing 670 million Vanaras.
When the nuclear fallout occurred, Sages Narada and Vyasa ordered to contain the effect. Only Arjun was able to retract the weapon, but Ashwatthama couldn't and sent it to attack Arjuna's unborn grandson Parikshit. Parikshit was then saved by Bhagwan Krishn.
PASHUPATASTRA belonged to Mahadev and is considered to be indestructible. It could destroy any creation. The use is prohibited against mortals. Arjuna once obtained the weapon from Bhagwan Shiv directly but never used it.
TRISHUL is a 3 spear headed weapon carried by Bhagwan Shiv himself & is considered the most powerful weapon that when unleashed can be heavily destructive and can't be stopped or controlled by any means except for Shiv himself.Trishul can nullify any supernatural weapons existed.
SUDARSHAN CHAKRA is a spinning disc like weapon with 108 serrated edges seen on the index finger of Bhagwan Vishnu.
It was gifted by Mahadev to Bhagwan Vishnu that was formed from the dust of the sun and scraps taken from the trident of Shiva&made by the God Architect-Vishwakarma
BRAHMANDASTRA is believed to manifest the 4 heads of Brahma, which can nullify most of all the powerful weapons released at it. This weapon can even swallow Brahmastra and neutralize it.
It was created by Saptarishis to counter any weapon ever created. Brahmarshi Vashisth used it in defence to Vishwamitra's attack of all divine weapons.
TEEN BAAN was the weapon of Barbarika in Mahabharat that he received as a boon from Devi Siddhidatri. It is believed if Barbarika participated in the Mahabharata War, he could have finished the war in 30 seconds with the use of Teen Baan.
The weapon was an arrow used three times, one to choose the target, other to choose the target to be saved and the third to destroy all the targets not chosen.
The technology during those historic times was so advanced that the modern Science has achieved nothing compared to it.
