Agneyastra is the arrow of Agni in Hinduism. Agni guards the
southeast side holding Agneyastra mounted on Ram (adult sheep). The arrow is widely mentioned
in the epics and puranas. All the important warriors in the Ramayana and
Mahabharata possessed Agneyastra.
When Agneyastra is shot, it emits flames, which is
inextinguishable through normal methods. It is used against an entire army or
against individuals.
In the Ramayana, Lakshmana countered Ravana’s Agneyastra
using clutch of fluid and feminine arrows.
As per Mahabharata, Agni received the Agneyastra from
Bharadwaja. Drona was blessed with the arrow.
