1、Gandiva
刚帝神弓
Hindu Mythology
印度神话
The Gandiva is a divine weapon of Hindu mythology, a symbol of the mastery and might of the gods. The Gandiva could be given to mortals for their piety and their devotion to their faith, or if they happened to be demigods of the Hindu pantheon. The Gandiva had the power to smite all evil in its path and was considered a tool for justice. The divine bow was said to be able to defeat 10,000 warriors at once and was only held in the hands of heroes.
刚帝神弓是印度教神话中一件神圣的武器,一种权利统治和神圣力量的象征。刚帝神弓被赐予那些虔诚的、热爱他们信仰的,并且有朝一日成为印度教众贤中的圣人们。刚帝神弓具有铲除所有邪恶存在的力量,并且被认为是维护正义的工具。神弓据说可以一次战胜10000人的军队,并且被认为只有英雄们的双手才可以拿起它。The hero Arjuna, the son of
a mortal woman and Indra, the god of war, is said to have been granted the Gandiva by Varuna, the god of water. He used it in battle and war to rule his kingdom wisely and justly. After many years, Arjuna passed on and his grandson became the ruler of his kingdom. On his way to heaven, Arjuna threw the Gandiva back into the sea in order to return it to Varuna, who dwelled in the waters of the world. A fair trade, we’d say.
英雄阿朱那,一名凡人女子和因陀罗的儿子,是战争之神,据说从水神伐楼拿那里得到了刚帝神弓。在战争与冲突期间,他使用神弓把王国管理的井井有条,充满了正义与和谐。在许多年之后,阿朱那去世了,他的孙子成为了王国的掌控者。在阿朱那去往天堂的路上,他把刚帝神弓抛向海洋,以使神弓可以回到伐楼拿手中,在水中,水神无处不在。我们会说,很公平的交易。
