Sometimes, the goal of a pilgrimage to the ashram was not tranquility, but instruction in some art, especially warfare. In the ''[[Ramayana]]'', the princes of ancient [[Ayodhya]], [[Rama]] and [[Lakshmana]], go to [[Vishvamitra]]'s ashram to protect his yajnas from being defiled by emissary-demons of [[Ravana]]. After they prove their mettle, the princes receive martial instruction from the sage, especially in the use of divine weapons. In the ''[[Mahabharata]]'', [[Krishna]], in his youth, goes to the ashram of [[Sandipani]] to gain knowledge of both intellectual and spiritual matters. | Sometimes, the goal of a pilgrimage to the ashram was not tranquility, but instruction in some art, especially warfare.
