Here appears the power of austerity turned toward mastery of weapons. It is significant that Sharadvan was born "together with arrows": his calling as a warrior was innate, and his bent toward the bow was stronger in him than any pull toward the Vedas. It is significant too that he wins his weapons not by practice alone but by austerity (tapas), as sages win knowledge of the Vedas: in the Vedic world, the art of war carried to perfection is likewise the fruit of concentrated striving. It is significant that his austerity "troubles Indra" — a recurring motif in the epic: the king of the gods fears the growing strength of an ascetic capable of displacing the gods. Here is both the grandeur of tapas and the jealous unease of the celestials toward those whose spiritual power is rising. Thus scripture prepares the turn to come: Indra, as before, will resort to temptation to cut short the austerity.
