शिव 's bow. It was made by विश्वकर्मा . He made a वैष्णवचाप and a शैवचाप for the purpose of a battle which was fought once between विष्णु and शिव . (See the 7th sub para, 7th para under the word Viṣṇu)

Long ago when शिव set out to break up दक्षयाग , he was armed with this bow. After defeating the enemy and breaking up the याग , शिव cooled down and presented the bow to his devotee, the king of विदेह . The king took the bow to his palace, kept it in his armoury and used to offer due worship to it. His descendants also continued to worship it. (Kamba Rāmāyaṇa, Bāla Kāṇḍa) .
