1、Gandiva
剛帝神弓
Hindu Mythology
印度神話
The Gandiva is a divine weapon of Hindu mythology, a symbol of the mastery and might of the gods. The Gandiva could be given to mortals for their piety and their devotion to their faith, or if they happened to be demigods of the Hindu pantheon. The Gandiva had the power to smite all evil in its path and was considered a tool for justice. The divine bow was said to be able to defeat 10,000 warriors at once and was only held in the hands of heroes.
剛帝神弓是印度教神話中一件神圣的武器,一種權利統治和神圣力量的象征。剛帝神弓被賜予那些虔誠的、熱愛他們信仰的,并且有朝一日成為印度教眾賢中的圣人們。剛帝神弓具有鏟除所有邪惡存在的力量,并且被認為是維護正義的工具。神弓據說可以一次戰勝10000人的軍隊,并且被認為只有英雄們的雙手才可以拿起它。The hero Arjuna, the son of

a mortal woman and Indra, the god of war, is said to have been granted the Gandiva by Varuna, the god of water. He used it in battle and war to rule his kingdom wisely and justly. After many years, Arjuna passed on and his grandson became the ruler of his kingdom. On his way to heaven, Arjuna threw the Gandiva back into the sea in order to return it to Varuna, who dwelled in the waters of the world. A fair trade, we’d say.
英雄阿朱那,一名凡人女子和因陀羅的兒子,是戰爭之神,據說從水神伐樓拿那里得到了剛帝神弓。在戰爭與沖突期間,他使用神弓把王國管理的井井有條,充滿了正義與和諧。在許多年之后,阿朱那去世了,他的孫子成為了王國的掌控者。在阿朱那去往天堂的路上,他把剛帝神弓拋向海洋,以使神弓可以回到伐樓拿手中,在水中,水神無處不在。我們會說,很公平的交易。
