This Gada, or bronze mace, has served as a weapon for numerous gods and goddesses. Lord Vishnu is also called as Shankha-chakra-gada-pani, or the master of Sankha, Chakra, and Gada. Kaumodaki is his Gada, and it represents the life force (prana) from which all "physical and mental powers" emanate. Lord Hanuman is also shown with a Gada. This metal Gada, with beautiful ornamentation on the body and a spiral pattern on the handle, is also a Prana symbol and can be connected with discipline to remove illusion and misunderstanding. According to the Varaha Purana, the Gada's purpose is to teach irreligious kings a lesson. Vishnu's gada is also supposed to dispel illusions.
