Detailed explanation-1: -The plough is Balarama’s weapon. In the Bhagavata Purana, he uses it to fight asuras, dig a way for Yamuna river to bring it closer to Vrindavan, and he also availed it to drag the entire capital of Hastinapura into the Ganga river.
Detailed explanation-2: -Thus, Rukmi’s Vidarbha army stayed away from the Kurukshetra War, becoming a neutral army in the encounter between the Kauravas and the Pandavas. The king was killed by Balarama because he cheated the deity in a game of dice, and insulted his Yadava heritage.
Detailed explanation-3: -The Mahabharata features the divine discus as a weapon of Krishna, identified with Vishnu. The deity beheads Shishupala with the Sudarshana Chakra at the rajasuya yajna of Emperor Yudhishthira.
