Talk:Phurpa Sri/@comment-3215051-20170913125555

The weapon's name is derived from "Sri" and "Phurpa", both are very important terms in Buddhism.

Sri is another name for the Hindu goddess of wealth, Lakshmi, who also serves a near-identical purpose in Buddhism either in her original name or as "Vasudhara".

Phurpa is a ceremonial dagger that's used for the slaying of obstructions (Amulets are typically used for warding away certain things) and against evil spirits (Demons). [Zero]
