>>>Lord Shiva had created the Matrikas to combat the demon Andhaka, who had the ability to duplicate from each drop of his blood that falls from him when he is wounded.>In ancient Sanskrit writings, a Brahmastra is a weapon created by Lord Brahma. As described in a number of the Puranas, it is considered the deadliest of all weapons. When a Brahmastra is discharged, there is neither a counter attack nor a defence that may stop it. The Brahmastra never misses its mark and must be used with very specific intent against an individual enemy or army, as the target will face complete annihilation. Its only used once in a lifetime. The user would have to display immense amounts of mental concentration. According to ancient Sanskrit writings, the Brahmastra is invoked by a key phrase or invocation that is bestowed upon the user when given this weapon. >They listened with utmost concentration, as Sampati continued. " 100 Yojanas from here is Lanka, the kingdom of Ravana. Some days ago, I had seen him flying in his Pushpaka Vimana (flower airplane), landing at Lanka with a beautiful lady with him, forcibly being taken into Lanka and banished in one of the Vatika.
