I was watching Mahabharat yesterday -specifically the episode where pandavas are in vanavas after having lost everything. Anyway Sri Krishna asks Arjuna to go pray to Mahadeva and Indra and get all the celestial weapons. Arjuna acquires Pashupatastra from Mahadeva and then proceed to Indra-lok to acquire all the celestial weapons. After acquiring all the weapons when he goes back to Indra to ask for his leave Indra says he needs to acquire one more *Astra*. Arjuna asks which one ? Indra says "Gaadharv-astra" from Gandharva king Chitrasen (?). Arjuna gets all confused what is a warrior going to do with Gaandharvastra and Indra explains its one of the most powerful astras of all.
Anyway to cut long story short, art of dancing (I am assuming Gadharvastra means art of dancing) can also be considered a weapon. <!--emo&:rocker--><img src='style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/rocker.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='rocker.gif' /><!--endemo-->
