Gandiva Bow: It is said that Gandiva Bow was made from the bone of Dadhichi Rishi whereas according to another legend, during the austerity of Kanva Rishi, beautiful and lattice bamboos grew in that Bambi after the termite was made Bambi on the body.
When the penance of Kanva Rishi was completed, three bows were made from the bamboo on the advice of Brahmaji - Pinak, Sharg and Gandiva. The Gandiva Dhanush was with Varunadeva whom he gave to Agnidev.
While Agnidev gave it to Arjuna, according to another legend, while making Indraprastha in the Khandava forest, this bow was given by Mayasur. However, this bow and its quiver were miraculous or, say, divine.
Gods also descended from heaven to see Krishna and Arjuna riding the chariot. The quiver of this bow was renewable.The arrows of this quiver never ceased. Some arrows would hit the target and return. This bow was worshiped by the Devas, Demons and Gandharvas for endless years.
Gandiva could not be destroyed by any weapon and could face other lacquer bows. Gandiva power was transmitted to whoever held it. Arjuna could leave Pashupatastra, Narayanastra and Brahmastra on the strength of this bow.
Vijaya Bow: Karna was called the victorious due to holding the Vijaya Bow.Karna's bow had such qualities, which was not in Arjuna's Gandiv bow. Vijaya was such a bow that it could not be broken by any type of weapon. This caused a terrible sound when the arrow was released.
Because of being enchanted with spells, whatever arrow was held on that Vijaya bow, the power of that arrow increased many times its actual strength. It is said that the life of a bow is in its body and Vijaya bow was so strong that it could not be cut off from any weapon.
It is said that this bow was created by Vishwakarmaji to destroy Tripura, the city of three sons of Tarakasura demon. With this bow, Lord Shiva drove his Pashupatastra and destroyed three towns together.
After the destruction of the city of those three Asuras, Lord Shiva gave this victory bow to Devraj Indra. Devaraj Indra had destroyed the demons in battle many times with this amazing and powerful bow.
Later, Parashurama meditated on Lord Shankar for the destruction of the Haihayavanshi Kshatriyas and asked for Vijaya bow, then Lord Shankar gave this bow from Indra to Parashurama.
Karna told lies to learn archery and Brahmastra from Lord Parshuram and when Parshuram came to know about this, he said that you will forget this learning when you need this.
Then later, Parshuram took pity, and he blessed Karna with this Vijaya bow and said that you will have indelible fame.
