    Akṣisaṃtarjana nt.: Name of a missile

    (astra).

    One of the eight missiles known to

    Arjuna; enumerated by Rāma Jāmadagnya

    to Duryodhana; when struck by any one of

    these eight missiles the victim died, or

    became insane, or lost consciousness, or he

    slept, or jumped up, vomited, passed urine,

    or he wept or laughed incessantly; (of these

    different effects, perhaps Akṣisaṃtarjana only

    induced the victim to go to sleep ?) 5. 94.

    38-40.
