Shambara

Arjuna sets out on the divine chariot that Indra once used to vanquish the greatest asuras. The roar of his departure alerts the gods, who assemble and ask what he intends to do. He tells them his mission, receives their blessings, and accepts the conch shell Devadatta — the very one Indra used to conquer the worlds.

The danavas unleash a storm of rocks, water, wind, fire, and finally a terrible darkness that confounds Arjuna and terrifies Matali. Arjuna counters each elemental assault with divine weapons, but when the darkness falls, even his charioteer loses his senses — and Arjuna must steady himself before he can fight on.
