C. History: It belonged to Varuṇa (vāruṇa); Maya brought it from Bindusaras for Arjuna 2. 3. 7, 16, 18; but according to another tradition it was in the possession of Indra and he conquered the worlds with it; it was given by the gods to Arjuna when he was to leave for his battle with the Nivātakavacas 3. 165. 21, 22; God (Indra) gifted it to Arjuna when he returned victorious from his fight with the Nivātakavacas and the Kālakeyas 3. 171. 5; 8. 57. 43.
