In the Dwapar Yuga, there were only fourteen Celestial Bows in earth, Gandiva of Arjuna, Mahendra, Vyavaya of Arjuna's Elder Brothers Yudhishthara and Bhima, Vijaya of Karna, the bow wielded by Lord Krishna, the almighty. Then we have Vaishanava Bow of Nakula and Asvin bow of Sahadeva, Agneya Bow was wielded by Satanika son of Draupadi, The other sons had Raudra bows, Raudra, Kauverya, Girisha, Yama Bow was wielded by one of Draupdeyas as well. Abhimanyu had second Raudra bow and finally Ghatotkacha had Paulastya Bow of Ravana. Among these three bows, Gandiva is almost synonymous with Arjuna since he was the only mortal to wield it. Vijaya Bow was wielded most of the time by Lord Indra who later gave it to Parashurama who gave it to Karna .Vijaya Bow was used by Shiva for destroying Tripura City of Tarakasura and was the most robust bow ever produced for any Trideva. The string of Vijaya bow could not be broken by any kind of astra . Vijaya bow was said to give almost sure victory to the possessor making the warrior invincible. Parasurama gave Vijaya to his student Karna, who already had terrific skill, making him a very formidable warrior. There are instances where Karna lost battles, however it is not clear whether he wielded the Vijaya bow during those battles. At Draupadi Swayamvar, Arjuna disguised as a bramhin and Karna collided. However Arjuna's arrows caused Karna to faint and ultimately the battle was a stalemate when Karna left the arena.No mention of the bow used by Karna is given here. Again at the Gandharva Parva where Karna and entire Kaurava army is routed by the gandharvas and then they capture Duryodhana along with all his wives, no mention of Karna's bow is found. Afterwards Arjuna along with Bhima, Nakula & Sahadeva routed the gandharvas. By this time Arjuna had already acquired Gandiva. Then at Virat Yudhha, where Arjuna singlehandedly defeats the maharathis of the Kauravas including Bhishma, Drona, Karna, Kripa, Ashwathama, Duryodhana, Duhshashana backed by a big army, mention of Arjuna's Gandiva is there, but we dont know which bow karna used. At Virat Yudhdha , it was a rout by Arjuna.He defeated all the Kaurava generals multiple times and at the end makes them unconscious using the Sammohani astra.  Lord Krishna did not wielded any weapon in Kurukshetra war and hence Srnga does not makes appearance in Kurukshetra war.

At the end of Dwapar yuga, Lord Krishna left his mortal shell and left for Vaikuntha. Lord Krishna and Arjuna were the reincrnation of the ancient sages Narayana and Nara. Hence after Narayana left World, his other half Nara i.e. Arjuna gave up his weapons.  Hence after Lord Krishna and Lord Balarama left world and returned Vaikuntha, Pandavas went out for mahaprasthan in the himalayas. On their route, Lord Varuna came and Arjuna returned Gandiva to him. Thus the most famous and one of the most robust celestial bow of Dwapar yuga left earth keeping behind the greatest warrior of Dwapar Yuga with whom its name has become synonymous in Indian Mythology.
