Mahabharata’s Most Feared Weapons

Brahmastra

The ultimate celestial weapon — capable of mass destruction and said to never miss its target. Only a few could summon it.

Pashupatastra

Granted by Lord Shiva, this weapon could destroy creation itself. Only Arjuna was worthy enough to wield it.

Narayanastra

Used by Ashwatthama, it released a storm of deadly missiles that increased with resistance. Only surrender could stop it.

Sudarshan Chakra

Lord Krishna’s spinning disc — swift, unstoppable, and used with divine precision to eliminate evil.

Vajra (Thunderbolt)

Indra’s weapon of choice — forged from sage Dadhichi’s bones. It symbolized invincibility and divine justice.

Agneyastra

A fire-based weapon that scorched everything in its path. Once unleashed, it turned the battlefield into flames.

Brahmashira Astra

A four-headed version of Brahmastra, considered even more dangerous. Capable of erasing existence itself.
