Preparing the next part of Suvarnaveda.
Epic / Puranic traditions
Suka is a weapon name in the Mahabharata’s list of eight powers associated with Arjuna’s bow Gandiva. It is mentioned during advice intended to prevent the Kaurava and Pandava branches of the Kuru family from going to war.
Original artistic interpretation · SukaTHE LIVING ARCHIVE
Parashurama, the warrior sage giving the advice, names Suka while explaining why Duryodhana should respect Arjuna’s strength and Krishna’s support. The occurrence concerns an armament. It is separate from Shuka, the sage identified elsewhere as Vyasa’s son. Its companions include Kakudika, Naka, Santana and Asyamodaka
