Arjuna said : O exalted one, O Vrishabdhvaja. O lord, if you will grant me what I desire to possess, I ask from you that fearful weapon which is wielded by you and which is called Brahmashira, that weapon of fearful prowess, which destroys at the end of Yuga the entire universe.
अर्जुन उवाच भगवन् ददासि चेन्मह्यं कामं प्रीत्या वृषध्वज। कामये दिव्यमस्त्रं तद् घोरं पाशुपतं प्रभो॥ यत् तद् ब्रह्मशिरो नाम रौद्रं भीमपराक्रमम्। युगान्ते दारुणे प्राप्ते कृत्स्नं संहरते जगत्॥
