Pashupatastra
The Kirata women watching the demon fall down to his death started dancing and celebrating. However, it was not clear who had struck the boar first, and neither party was ready to concede defeat. When Arjuna realized that the Kirata chief was none other than Lord Shiva in disguise, he bowed in front of him and said, “Please pardon me, Lord. I didn’t know who I was fighting.” Lord Shiva replied, “O valiant prince, you have appeased me with your devotion. I grant you this Pashupata, the blessed arrow to aid you in your war.”
