- Shiva_Dhanush abstract "Shiva Dhanush (Sanskrit: शिव धनुष), also known as Pinaka (Ajagav), in Hindu mythology, was the divine bow of Lord Shiva gave to King Devaraata (King Janaka's ancestor) for safe-keeping; after Tripura samhara. The bow is 8.5 feet in length as mentioned in the Dhanurveda.In earlier part of her life, Sita while playing with her sisters had unknowingly lifted the table over which the "Shiva Dhanush" had been placed; which was something no one in the palace could do. This incident was however observed by King Janaka and he decided to make this incident as the backdrop for swayamvar.Later, Janaka had announced that whosoever wanted to marry Sita had to do so only after lifting (which was itself a difficult job) the bow from its place and stringing it. The bow was broken by Lord Rama when he attempted to string the bow, during the swayamvar of King Janaka's daughter Sita, whereby he won the hand of Sita in marriage. After the marriage when Dasharatha was returning with Lord Ram sage Parashurama met them in the forest outside Mithilla and challenged Lord Rama. Lord Ram extolled the sage. After that Dasharatha prayed to the sage to forgive him but Parashurama wouldn't control and brought out Lord Vishnu's bow. He then asked Rama to string the bow and fight a duel with him.Rama snatches the bow of Vishnu, strings it, places an arrow and points it straight at the challenger's heart. Rama then asks Parashurama what he will give as a target to the arrow. At this point, Parashurama feels himself devoid of his mystical energy. He realizes that Rama is Vishnu incarnate, his successor and his superior. He accepts Rama's superiority, devotes his tapasya to him, pays homage to Rama and promises to return to his hermitage and leave the world of men.Rama then shoots the arrow up into the sky with Vishnu's bow, performing a feat true to his supreme, divine nature with his natural weapon. He overpowered Parashurama and received all his good deeds or punyas as per directed by the sage. Then Parashurama left this world to Mahendra Parvat.".
