Educational Q&A

A vowed condition must be honored exactly: if the agreed terms are broken (being recognized during the incognito year), the consequence is accepted without evasion—showing commitment to dharma, self-discipline, and accountability.

The terms of exile are being stated: twelve years must be spent in the forest, followed by a thirteenth year living incognito among people; if they are identified during that final year, the twelve-year forest exile must be repeated.
