Astra Shastra
Sage Vishvamitra continued, "Oh, highly fortunate Rama! Take these missiles namely, varshaNa [the Rainer] Shoshana [the Drainer]; Santaapana [the Humidifier]; Vilaapana [the Weep inducer] and oh, prince, an unassailable intoxication and a dear missile of Manmatha, namely Mohana [The Intoxicator]; and another the fond missile of Gandharvas namely Maanava by its name, [The Humane missile] and oh, tiger man, a missile dear one to pishaacas, monsters, namely Paishaca [The Monster missile]. Oh, manly-tiger Rama, greatly powered Taamasa and Saumana missiles, the indomitable missiles like Samvarta, Mausala, Satya, and then the Maaya-Maya missile; like that oh, mighty-armed Rama, a solar missile the Sequestrator of others' brilliance namely Teja-Prabha; next, the missile of Moon-god named Shishira [The Cooler]; and a very deadly missile of tvaSTa namely Sudaamana; and even the dangerous missile of Bhaga namely shita-iSu, these and the Maanava missile of Manu, the earliest ruler of mankind, I will be giving. These missiles are, oh, dextrous prince, disguise-wizards, greatly powered, and highly providential ones, oh, Rama, you may take them forthwith." So, said sage Vishvamitra to Rama.
