"The volume offers an excellent variety of traditions, topics, and methods in the consideration of religious vowsIt is particularly notable that some essays include considerations of vows undertaken by devotees of one religion to a person or deity associated with another. This feature reflects the complexities of the ritual lives of many South Asians too often overlooked in other treatments." — Peter Gottschalk, author of Beyond Hindu and Muslim: Multiple Identity in Narratives from Village India
"A splendid volume that will be read by scholars and assigned in classes on South Asian religions." — Rachel Fell McDermott, coeditor of Encountering Kāliī: In the Margins, at the Center, in the West
