Lokapāla-samāgamaḥ—Arjuna Receives Astras from the World-Guardians
Book 3, Chapter 42
अस्माल्लोकाद् देवलोक॑ पाकशासनशासनात् | आरो ह त्वं मया सार्ध लब्धास्त्र: पुनरेष्यसि,आप देवराजकी आज्ञासे इस लोकसे मेरे साथ देवलोकको चलिये। वहाँसे दिव्यास्त्र प्राप्त करके लौट आइयेगा
asmāl lokād devalokaṃ pākaśāsanaśāsanāt | āroha tvaṃ mayā sārdhaṃ labdhāstraḥ punareṣyasi ||
Disse Vaiśaṃpāyana: “Por ordem de Pākaśāsana (Indra), vem comigo deste mundo ao mundo dos deuses. Lá, depois de obteres as armas divinas, retornarás novamente.”

Educational Q&A
Legitimate power must be sought through rightful means: divine weapons are not seized but granted under higher authority, implying discipline, worthiness, and responsibility in the use of force.
A messenger/guide conveys Indra’s order inviting the hero to ascend from the human realm to Devaloka, where he will receive celestial weapons and then return to continue his dharmic mission.
