ABOUT THE BOOK
Vasiṣṭha’s Dhanurveda Samhitā* is a traditional Sanskrit treatise attributed to the sage Vasiṣṭha, considered part of the Upavedas (specialised Vedic disciplines), associated especially with the Yajurveda and Atharvaveda. It systematically deals with martial arts, especially archery: how to make bows and arrows, the correct shooting technique, aiming, practice drills, and even the roles of teacher, student, and rules of warfare. Beyond just weapons, it covers war strategy, training of animals (horses, elephants), formation of battle arrays, and rituals, charms, herbs, etc., used for victory or protection in war. Though claimed ancient, the existing text is thought by scholars to be relatively late (post-17th century) in its surviving manuscripts, as it uses some titles or terms which became common only in later periods.
