This bowstring must withstand pressure of up to 60 lbs., drawn with a cast of 145 meters.

The reasons for depicting gods holding bows and arrows have a mythological back ground. The mythical tree Pagsam Joenshing has its roots in the realms of the Lhamin while its trunk grows upward and bear fruits in the realm of the Lha. Jealous at Lha, who enjoy the fruits, the Lhamin waged war against them who are believed to have used bows and arrows as weapons for the first time. Bows and arrows held by gods depicted in their wrathful form are known as the Bow of Knowledge and Arrow of Wisdom. Besides these symbolic associations, bows and arrow are used ordinarily as tools for hunting and as weapons against enemies.

Da or arrow is literally defined as that which is aimed and directed towards a spot visualized by the mind and seen by the eye. Arrow’s shot after offering prayers toward a target unseen by the eyes are referred to as Yesheypai Da or the Divine Arrow. For example, during the war fought against the British long ago (Duar war fought in 1864-65 between Bhutan and the British.), an arrow was shot from a mountain (Yongla Gonpa, overlooks the Deothang valley in South eastern Bhutan. The arrow was believed to have been shot by Jigme Namgyal, the father of the first king of Bhutan.), towards Dungsam Deothang after supplicating and offering prayers to Yeshey Gonpo, the guardian deity of Bhutan. The arrow is believed to have hit the forehead of the British General and killed him.

leggendo il link proposto da Jeval si attribuisce al tiro con l'arco origini mitiche per questo potevano esserci dei nessi col bassorilievo di Bali...
