kill Tripurasurs. Lord Shiva called Vishwakarma and asked him

to make a suitable chariot, bow and arrow. The chariot was made

chariot was speedily driven towards Tripura. The Gods accompa-

nied Shiva with diverse weapons. Prithvi was the chariot. Sun and

Moon were the wheels. Brahma was the charioteer. Meru was the
bow and Lord Vishnu was the arrow. By then a thousand years

Shiva installed a divine weapon known as Pashupatastra into his

arrow and shot it at Tripura. The arrow burnt up Tripura in a

split second.
