Preparing the next part of Suvarnaveda.
Epic / Puranic traditions
Ghora is a weapon name in the Mahabharata’s eightfold list associated with Arjuna and Gandiva, his bow. The list occurs in counsel urging Duryodhana to make peace with the Pandavas before their family conflict becomes a war.
Original artistic interpretation · GhoraTHE LIVING ARCHIVE
The word ghora can mean terrible, but here it is part of an explicit list of weapon names. Its identity comes from that occurrence. Parashurama, the warrior sage addressing Duryodhana, uses the list to explain why Arjuna’s military strength and Krishna’s support should not be dismissed.
This requested label can also be an adjective meaning terrible; its identity as a distinct Astra is unverified here.
