Q 56.06

If I may. Here's no. 6

Question? I was born at the time of a great war. My creator gave me shape by taking essences of a number of powers he had in his house. My purpose was to battle a great storm formed in a distant land that was headed for my home, so my creator could battle his foe. I did as my creator commanded but he, enthralled at my great powers, unleashed me uncontrolled. I took a terrible form. It took a great prince to vanquish the form I took. What am I? rueben_lys (talk · contribs) 08:26, 3 July 2015 (UTC)

Addendum: When my creator started breathing new life into me, the prince started his battle. He had only one weapon, which he also gave to those who followed him in battle. It lasted nearly a thousand days and nights. At the end, my creator accepted defeat. Not only I, but the powers that made me, were also sheathed.
Many years later came another great war, a battle with evil, and with it came fear of another storm. I was unsheathed again in new form, and wielded more severely. After the tempest ended, my creator sheathed me and passed me onto the very people who suffered my wrath, who saw my enormous potential and use, and chose to keep the power to unsheath me when needed. To this day my various incarnations have been called forth many times. My most (in)famous incarnation drew battle from another warrior, who used the same weapon the prince had used. He too won.rueben_lys (talk · contribs) 13:28, 3 July 2015 (UTC)

Hint please..--Umesah86 Umesh 09:44, 3 July 2015 (UTC).

I think it is a bit too early to give a hint, especially since it has been less than four hours to posting. I have made the question a lot more detailed, should be easier.rueben_lys (talk · contribs) 13:29, 3 July 2015 (UTC)
Hint 1: Even before the prince began his battle against the new life my creator was breathing onto me, many others warned I had turned into a reviled and hated thing. Amongst them was one, the Prince's arch-nemesis some say, hailed by others as their hero. He left my creator's court after forewarning them that only trouble lay in this new life.
My most infamous reincarnation was given birth by another, a Goddess some say, and a tyrant say others.rueben_lys (talk · contribs) 15:01, 4 July 2015 (UTC)
Hint 2 I am not sure if this is harder than I anticipated, second hint. The storm arose in the Pacific coast of Canada and was headed for high pressure areas in Bengal and Punjab. On the way it touched land in southeast Asia and caused a minor storm, but one that is remembered in the history of that country.rueben_lys (talk · contribs) 11:26, 5 July 2015 (UTC)
′′Addendum′′ ″Storm″ here is a metaphor.rueben_lys (talk · contribs) 11:29, 5 July 2015 (UTC)
Hint 3. Actually a conglomeration of hints. Amongst my famous victims was a lady of Irish origin who has something to do with a famous university. In the battle against my new life, Delhi has a role of note, as does the city of Amritsar.rueben_lys (talk · contribs) 08:02, 6 July 2015 (UTC)
Hint 4 I have always been used by the rulers of India. The Prince in question has been called an apostle by some.rueben_lys (talk · contribs) 20:19, 6 July 2015 (UTC)

Hint 5 The years 1939, 1962 and 1971 hold relevance to later incarnations of myself.rueben_lys (talk · contribs) 15:25, 8 July 2015 (UTC)
Hint 6 I am a law.rueben_lys (talk · contribs) 15:29, 8 July 2015 (UTC)

checkY That is the answer I am looking for. Care to join the dots Dwaipayan?rueben_lys (talk · contribs) 09:27, 9 July 2015 (UTC)

Answer is swarg , lanka & dwarka Umesah86...

As per the question, with the taken radiance of Sun god, Viswakarma made 3 objects, the objects were indeed The discus of Vishnu, the trident of Shiva and the lance of Kartikeya! In some lesser known versions, he made Pushpaka Vimana instead of Lance of Karthikeya!!

Viswakarma is credited to have built the Swarg, Lanka & Dwaraka also, but not from the Sun's leftover radiance, i believe. He was divine engineer of the world. he built/made many things including Vajra, weapon of God Indra! Just academic curiosity! : -)) Prasad (talk) 04:19, 9 November 2015 (UTC)

checkY Answer is X=Vishwakarma and the first two divine objects were Sudarshana Chakra and Trishula. Yes there are variations of about the third object. As some of them includes[1] lance of Kartikeya and some not[2]. But according to the question, "One of which was stolen/acquired from its legit owner and later appeared in Treta Yuga", this is a fact that Pushpak Vimana was given to Kuber by Brahma from whom it was stolen by Ravana. So Pushpak Vimana fits the question perfectly. Point goes to Prasad. --Ritwik.m07 (talk) 12:35, 9 November 2015 (UTC)

Thanks for your appreciation Ritwik.m07 and apology for delay to ask question.

Question? Find the person? He leaved in between 1 - 3 BC, he is credited to author a book which had 36 chapters and 5660 verses, the book is assumed to be only recorded source in its field. Earlier the book was partly named with author name and later its name was changed to its related field. Regards :)Omer123hussain (talk) 06:29, 25 November 2015 (UTC)

There were two Indian texts in my mind but I googled to confirm it, so not revealing the answer. But I request you all to add this clause to the Question_guidelines that "If you are going to ask a question which involves stats and figures, then please don't quote exact numbers (say 36 chapters, 5660 verses) as this will make it easy for Google to filter the answer. Instead give a close figure, like above 35 chapters and more than 5500 verses. This is to prevent this Quiz forum to become a GoogleItOut forum." and "Try to use your own way of writing while asking a question and don't copy paste from other sites. This is to prevent this Quiz forum to become a GoogleItOut forum." --Ritwik.m07 (talk) 07:46, 25 November 2015 (UTC)
Appreciate your suggestions and intelligence, but don't you think while using Google search it will increase GK. Complicating questions will push the portal back and users will loose the interest if we put tough questions. Any way we shall discuss this further if you want, on talk page.
