Epic / Puranic traditions
Shula is a pointed weapon described in sacred narratives as a spear, lance or trident according to its setting. It is a weapon class and divine attribute, rather than the proper name of one object shared by every bearer.
Original artistic interpretation · ShulaTHE LIVING ARCHIVE
The Devi Mahatmya places shulas in the hands of both the Goddess and her opponents. Shiva provides her with one drawn from his own weapon, while enemy commanders bring their own into battle. The surrounding action identifies whose weapon is being used; a common name does not establish a transfer of the same object between them.

THE STORY
