**Graduation.** There was also a ceremony to mark the completion of this military training. It was called *Chhurikā-bandhanam*, because it meant the tying up of a dagger to the dress of the pupil as a token of his graduation: It is mentioned by Nārada as cited in *Vīramitrodaya* [see Altekar's *Education in Ancient India*, pp. 44-6].
