Definition
Dhanurveda ('knowledge of the bow') is the Upaveda of archery and warfare, traditionally attached to the Yajurveda. Material on it survives in sections of the Agni Purāṇa and in later manuals covering weapons, training and the qualities of a teacher. The term is also used broadly for the martial traditions of India.
