Grace

CRITICAL: a provisional descriptive compound (‘given without needing to be earned’) is required, since Sarnaism’s ritual life is structured around dan (offerings) made to bongas at the jaher to secure protection and avert misfortune — a reciprocal, exchange-based logic. Grace must be taught as favor given entirely apart from any offering or ritual exchange, a genuinely new category for a Sarnaism-background reader, not merely a corrected word. This rendering should be confirmed with a Santali-speaking theologian before wide deployment.
