Use in Mahabharata war[edit]

On the fourteenth day of the war, when Arjuna wanted to kill King Jayadratha, Drona and Duryodhana sent their men to stop Arjuna. One of these was King Sudakshina, who threw his spear at Arjuna, striking him and causing blood to flow. Kaurava's army thought that Arjuna had died but he got up and shot Indrastra, killing King Sudakshina and a large part of his army.^{[citation needed]}

On the seventeenth day of the war Arjuna shot his Indrastra on the Samsaptakas killing many of them.^{[citation needed]}
