ok m super lazy to search in kmg so just quoting frm d&d the astras used in war😆

Originally posted by: varaali

The astra which Karna otained from Indra was the Amogha Astra- with which he eventually killed Ghatoghach.

Pashupatastra, was used by Arjuna to kill Jayadrath. On the night of Abhimanyu's death, when Arjuna had taken a vow to kill Jayadrath by the sunset of the next day, he had a strange dream. In the dream he saw himself and Krishna travelling upto Kailash where they had darshan of Lord Shiva and Gauri. Lord Shiva then asked Arjuna to fetch the Pashupatastra from a nearby lake which Arjuna did and Lord Shiva also taught the mantra for the same. It was with this astra that Arjuna killed Jayadrath,

Some of the occasions in which the Brahmastra was used:

On Day 12 when Arjuna killed hundreds of Shamshaptakas using th Brahmastra.

On Day 14, Drona used the Brahmastra against Yudhishthira

On Day 15 Drona used the Brahmastra against Arjuna who replied back with the same missile

Later that same day, after Drona had been killed, an engraged Ashwathama used the Agneyastra against the Pandavas. Arjuna used the Brahmastra to subdue the Agneyastra.

On Day 17, Arjuna used the Brahmastra to counter Karna's arrows.

Other than the Brahmastra, other divine astras to be used were Nagastra (used by Karna) , Anjalika (used by Arjuna to kill Karna) , Mahendra-astra (used by Arjuna on Day 3), Bhaskara and Jyoti astra.
Apart from the above, theVaishnava astra and Narayana-astra the were used by Baghaduta and Aswathama respectively. Karna used the Amogha -astra to kill Ghatotghach.

Mythili..
Even I had a confusion regarding this(target or whole world)..😕
I checked online and found this. However, I will continue to search for better proof in the sacred text site.

On seeing the approaching angered Pandavas, Ashwatthama who learnt that he had killed the upapandavas and not the Pandavas, realised that he was trapped with the Pandavas. As a last resort, he used his sacred knowledge of the Vedas to devise a Bramhashirastra from a blade of grass and invoked it against the Pandavas and Krishna, although he was strictly forbidden to do so by his father Dronacharya for any purpose whatsoever. On seeing the Brahmashirastra approaching the Pandavas, Krishna asked Arjuna to invoke the same. Arjuna invokes Bramhashirastra, which he received by Dronacharya itself, towards Ashwatthama. On seeing the two powerful astras heading for a head on cataclysmic (catastrophic) collision that would result in the total annihilation of the entire Earth, sage Vyasa stopped these divine weapons from colliding with each other by using his yogic power. He asked both these warriors to withdraw their respective weapons. Arjuna was able to withdraw his Brahmashirastra, while Ashwatthama could not do so as Dronocharya did not teach his son how to withdraw it.An archer who is able to invoke and withdraw any Divyastra (Divine Weapon) can invoke it as many times as he wishes. Dronacharya taught Arjuna to withdraw Brahmashirastra but he did not do so to Ashwathama, thus limiting the power of Ashwathama to invoke Brahmashirastra for only one instance. However, Ahswathama was given the option of deviating his weapon towards one single isolated object in a place that was not inhabited by any form of life, so that the Brahmashirastra does not harm anyone on Earth. But Ashwatthama, out of spite, directed the weapon towards the womb of Uttara (wife of Abhimanyu) who was carrying Abhimanyu's son (Parikshit) in an attempt to end the lineage of the Pandavas. Krishna used his sudarshana chakra to stop the Brahmashirastra and save Uttara's unborn child.

@Mythili...
If you are here, then I have another doubt I want to ask you about..
I think that it was Krishna himself who asked Arjun to launch the Brahmashira.😕
So, didn't Krishna know that Ashwi did not know how to revoke it or do I remember this part wrong?

EDIT : Do you think this is the right place to discuss this or should we go to Krishna's AT?
