Sharnga

Sharnga (Sanskrit: शार्ङ्ग, romanized: Śārṅga) also spelled as Saranga or Sharanga, is the celestial bow of the Hindu god Vishnu, primarily associated with his avatar of Rama. In South India, the Sharanga is also simply known as the Kodanda, literally meaning bow. Rama is often praised as Kodandapani, the holder of the Kodanda. The attribute of the bow is also mentioned in the Vishnu Sahasranama.
