FAQs

When a dharmic vow is completed, one should move from conflict to restraint; clinging to weapons sustains inner agitation.

The instruction occurs in the holy kṣetra described in Adhyāya 94 of the Nāgarakhaṇḍa’s Tīrthamāhātmya.

No ritual action is prescribed; it is a moral injunction to relinquish the weapon after the vow is fulfilled.
