Lord Rama's great bow was called the Kodanda, and it was an amsa of Lord Vishnu. After the Shri Ram avatar was completed and Shri ram was on his way back to Vaikunta, his Kodanda bow and arrows merged into him after he resumed his Vishnu-roop.

The Vijaya was Lord Indra's bow, and Lord Indra gave it to Parashuram, who then gave it to Karna. The Kodanda and the Vijaya are not the same.

Hope this helped...
