'When he was about to apply the divine astras, the earth, pressed beneath his feet, trembled together with its trees. The rivers grew turbulent, as did the great ocean; the mountains began to crumble, and the wind ceased to blow. The thousand-rayed sun did not shine, fire did not burn, and the Vedas would not appear to the twice-born at all. The beings dwelling beneath the earth, tormented, rose up and surrounded the Pandava. Trembling, they stood with joined palms and covered faces, and, scorched by those weapons, they beseeched Dhananjaya. Then the brahmarshis rose, and the siddhas and the divine seers, and all moving beings as well. The foremost of the rajarshis, the dwellers of heaven, the yakshas, rakshasas, gandharvas, and birds also appeared. Then Pitamaha came, and all the guardians of the world, and the blessed Mahadeva with his hosts. The wind, from every side, showered the Pandavas with wondrous, fragrant, celestial garlands. At the gods' bidding the gandharvas sang various songs, and troops of apsaras danced.'

The world shudders even before the astras are actually used. Thus it becomes clear: divine weapons belong not to private anger, but to the cosmic order.
