Can divine weapons (for example Varunastra or Pashupatastra) be invoked now like the ones in the Mahabharat and Ramayan?
Answers
Answer:
The Pashupatastra (IAST: Pāśupatāstra, sanskrit: पाशुपतास्त्र; the weapon of Pasupati, an epithet of Shiva) in Hindu mythology is an irresistible and most destructive personal weapon of Shiva, Kali and Adi Para Shakti, which can be 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. Pashupatastra is the most destructive, powerful, irresistible weapon mentioned in the Hindu mythology. In Mahabharata; only Arjuna and in Ramayana; sage Vishvamitra possessed Pashupatastra.[1][2] It is one of the six Mantramukta weapons that cannot be resisted.[3]
Lord Shiva gives Pashupatastra to Arjuna
A narrative from Kisari Mohan Ganguli's translation of Mahabharat regarding the power of Pashupatastra:[4]
O thou of mighty arms, that weapon is superior to the Brahma, the Narayana, the Aindra, the Agneya, and the Varuna weapons. Verily, it is capable of neutralising every other weapon in the universe.
