Pashupatastra
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Pashupatastra (IAST: Pāśupatāstra, sanskrit: पाशुपतास्त्र) , in Hindu mythology, is the irresistible and most destructive personal weapon of Siva discharged by the mind, eyes, words or a bow. Never to be used against lesser enemies and by lesser warriors, the Pashupata is capable of destroying creation and vanquishing all beings.
