For the time being Kṛṣṇa and Arjuna were not having sufficient weapons. Agni (fire-god) thought of Varuṇa (the God of water) who instantly appeared. At the request of Agni Varuṇa gave Arjuna the famous bow ‘Candradhanus’ (Gāṇḍīva), a quiver which would never become empty of arrows and a chariot having a flag with the sign of monkey and to Śrī Kṛṣṇa the weapon of the discus.
