Created retroactively 2026-08-10 during a ghost-link remediation pass; seven citing links resolved to nothing. The citations were not fabricated — author, title, publisher and edition verified on disk.
The slug says ch1 while this stub covers the work as a whole. Retained rather than corrected, to avoid breaking inbound links; recorded here instead.
A practitioner treatment of the martial-ascetic lineage — the warrior-renunciate as a real and continuous type rather than a literary figure — together with the physical culture, austerities and combat practice attached to it.
Classification rationale: practitioner, not scholarly. Written from inside a tradition, by a practitioner, for practitioners.
🚩 SINGLE SOURCE. Historical claims about lineage continuity are made from within the tradition and are not independently corroborated here.
🚩 TRANSLATION DISTORTION / INSIDER WARRANT. A Western practitioner representing an Indian ascetic tradition. Where this source makes claims about what a tradition holds, those need a corroborating scholarly source before entering ARCHIVES as fact rather than as this author's account.
🚩 MOTIVATED REASONING. A practitioner-author has an interest in the tradition's antiquity and coherence.
Historical and lineage claims: [PLAUSIBLE — needs corroboration] at best, with [SINGLE SOURCE] flagged. Practice descriptions are first-hand and may be cited as what this practitioner teaches.
