Dear Sudhamma SIr
welcome back, after a Long time, this thread will be enlightened indeed!!!
Can some one please tell me, why 'Pasupathastra' attained by the pennance of Arjuna towards Maheshwar was NEVER used in the war??
Can some one pls verify the above statement and explain why it was not used?, Many thanks

Arjuna never applied Pasupatha Astra during the war .
To his conscience, he always kept DIVINE WEAPONS , not to be applied at any point of time.
This was his principle, I believe.
Even the counter Brama siras which he fired against Aswathama ( after the war ) was to neutralize the bramasiras fired by Aswathama

Pasupatha Astra was never used in Mahabarath war.
Infact, well before the war, when Sri Parasurama was fighting at the behest of Amba , Bhishma was about to use it but it was prevented by an anonymous call from the skies .
Your query :
The same Arjuna also worshipped Lord SHiva and obtained that divine astra , only to apply it under extrodinary circumstances.
Even while fighiting against Karna, he didnt apply.
Can some one tell me what happened to Vidura aftter the war?
I believe he went to the forest.Quote:

But after the war, I remember Kunti devi, Gandhari and Dhritharashtran taking up sanyas and moving to the forest to join Vidura in tapas.
