Translation
Arjuna said: “O Bharata, please instruct me—having gone (to them)—in all the celestial weapons: from Vāyu, from Agni, from the Vasus as well, from Varuṇa, and from the hosts of the Maruts. For the sake of righteous protection and the coming conflict, I seek mastery of arms from the divine guardians themselves.”
