Hindu Compound Bow Name Contest
 
So, here's the deal.

I'm addicted to this online game, Carnage Blender (see link below). It’s a build a fighter, forge some weapons, learn some spells, kill some people type of game.

On of my characters is named “Sri Rama”, a Hindu prince who was the perfect warrior, and one of the 7 avatars for the god Vishnu. He uses a huge compound bow as one of his weapons. In this game, naming a weapon is a big deal – it gives you a damage advantage and an accuracy advantage. Once a weapon is named, you can’t change the name. I have the chance to name Sri Rama’s compound bow.

What should I name it? Any ideas? I’d love to find out what the Sanskrit for “Justice” is, or “Hand of God”.

The winner will get a kiss from Marichiko. With tongue.

Rama Rama Ding Ding.

That should give you an advantage as your foes fall over laughing.

Name it Kali...

I beleive Aghora is 'hand of god' in sanskrit but it's been a looong time since I looked at that stuff.

Other things that come to mind are..
kundalini maa : roughly something like 'supreme spiritual energy'
There is a word that means roughly 'holy wrath' or so but I'm damned if I can remember it.

Kali and Shiva are meant to be identical, Kali came from inside Shiva but Kali is dominant but it all gets rather complicated and metaphysical.

I would name it "I'm Rick James, bitch!"

"Vibhav-bhavo" translates as "adverse feeling".

"Karuna" translates as "compassion/pity" (could be a nice name for something that puts your enemies out of their miseries)

Finally, Varuna is "a god of justice who wreaked vengeance upon evil-doers".

The Call of Yama

Yama for short.

Lord Yama is the God of death in Hindu belief, and it is common to refer to death as The Call of Yama.

I think Cyber Wolf's profile heading would be a good name.
