Sthūṇākarṇa : nt.: Name of a missile, apparently known to very few heroes.
According to Nīlakaṇṭha, it is related to Śaṅkukarṇa, one of the incarnations of Rudra (sthūṇākarṇa iti śaṅkukarṇākhyo rudrāvatārabhedas taddaivatyam astram on 3. 167. 33 Bom. Ed.); it seems to have been a very important missile since it is mentioned along with the Pāśupata and the Brahmāstra 5. 47. 100; 5. 139. 31 (also Aindra); Arjuna, in his message sent through Saṁjaya, threatened to use Sthūṇākarṇa against the Kaurava warriors in the war 5. 47. 100; Karṇa, too, was sure that Arjuna would use Sthūṇākarṇa in the war with the employment of proper mantras on his arrow (mantrās tatra bhaviṣyanti prayuktāḥ savyasācinā) 5. 139. 31; but its use by Arjuna in the war is not recorded; on the other hand Karṇa himself, while inciting the sons of Dhṛtarāṣṭra who were attacking Yudhiṣṭhira to kill him, released Sthūṇākarṇa, along with Indrajāla and Pāśupata, to overpower Yudhiṣṭhira 8. 43. 20-21; outside the epic war, Arjuna used it against the Kirāta (Śiva) who swallowed it up 3. 163. 32; Arjuna used it also against the Gandharvas who had captured the Kauravas; the Gandharvas were tormented by the heat (dahyamānāḥ) of the arrows released by the use of the missile 3. 234. 17-18; Balarāma had released Sthūṇākarṇa missile to repulse a very powerful gadā hurled against him and Kṛṣṇa by Jarāsandha; the gadā, when met with force by the missile, fell on the earth tearing it open and the impact produced by it shook the mountains; the Rākṣasī Jarā (who had joined the two parts of the body of Jarāsandha) lay concealed under the ground; she, together with her sons and relatives, was killed due to the impact of the gadā and the Sthūṇākarṇa missile on the earth 7. 156. 10-14.
