When Yama and Varuna had bestowed their divine weapons, the lord of riches who dwells on Kailasa spoke: 'Savyasachin, mighty-armed, ancient god, in ages past you labored constantly together with us. Accept from me too my beloved weapon of concealment: it lulls enemies to sleep and strips them of their strength, splendor, and vigor.' Mighty Arjuna accepted this divine Kaubera weapon as well, according to rule.
