What does Yudh mean here?
It means structured threat reading, not a permission to escalate.
DISHA public architecture
Yudh & Vyuha Defense Engine
Yudh reads the threat. Vyuha shapes the defence.
Direct Answer
Yudh and Vyuha form DISHA's defensive cyber intelligence model. Yudh studies the shape, source, behaviour and risk of a threat. Vyuha selects a defensive formation that protects authorised systems, preserves evidence, limits harm, supports recovery and remains subject to No-First-Use restraint.

How this works in DISHA v6.6 runtime
Mission to evidence pipeline
DISHA does not turn every input into truth. It turns every input into a record that can be examined.
The current runtime uses a typed mission signal. A signal can include raw text, evidence files, geospatial points, threat indicators, requested action, data-source references, sensitivity, user role, device trust, action risk and telemetry risk.
- Normalize mission into DishaSignal.
- Select governed intelligence lenses.
- Return findings, evidence, confidence and risk.
- Evaluate policy before action.
- Allow, confirm, sandbox, read-only, escalate or deny.
- Record important steps as evidence events.
Yudh
Yudh names the conflict posture. It asks what is happening, which system is affected, what behaviour is visible, which evidence should be preserved and what level of authority is needed before action.
Vyuha
Vyuha gives the defence its shape. A formation is not a dramatic response. It is a bounded arrangement of observation, preservation, isolation, protection, recovery and review.
Five Formations
Trishula covers identity, network and filesystem defence. Kurma reduces exposure. Padma supports segmentation and controlled isolation. Garbha protects inner evidence and recovery. Nakshatra Mandala correlates weak signals across time and systems.
What This Page Does Not Claim
This page does not publish exploit methods, attack instructions, credentials, protected internals or restricted control logic. It explains defensive architecture and public doctrine.

FAQ
Questions and answers
What is a Vyuha?
A bounded defensive formation selected after evidence, duty, risk and authority are examined.
Are formations offensive?
No. They are defensive and constrained by the No-First-Use doctrine.
Why use formations?
A defensive event often requires several coordinated controls, not one isolated rule.
