At daybreak, smiling with affection Visvamitra said "Rama, I am pleased and proud of the good you have done to this earth by slaying Tataka. Fulfilled and happy, I bequeath the wealth of weapons to you with love. With these you will be victorious not only against devas and rakshasas, but also against the gandharvas, nagas, uragas and all others, of whom you will be the master." Starting with the celestial Danda, Dharma, Kala and, Visnu chakras the Vajra astras, the prestigious spear of Siva, Brahmashivaastra, the Aishikaastra and the mightiest of all, the Brahmastra; the two brilliant maces, Modaki and Shikari along with Dharmapasa and Kalapasa shall be yours.The sage gave away these andmany more mighty and exalted astras. Visvamitra having purified himself stood facing east, while he conferred the astras on Rama. He taught Rama the complete acquisition and the incantations to evoke those weapons, difficult to attain even by the celestials. Evoked by Visvamitra, the presiding deities of the weapons manifested themselves into Rama's presence saying, "We are your servants ". Receiving the astras, Rama touched the astra devatas with his hand, as a token of acceptance and wished them to come, whenever he invoked them. Pleased and fulfilled he paid respectful homage to the noble sage Visvamitra.
