Krittika cuts to the truth. These natives have penetrating discrimination, natural authority, and a purifying quality — they burn away pretense in themselves and others, and often serve as protectors and mentors.
Leadership, criticism and editing, teaching, military and protective services, cooking and metallurgy — anywhere sharpness and fire serve a purpose.
The razor can wound: bluntness delivered without warmth isolates. The lesson is Agni's — fire that cooks and illuminates rather than burns.
