Wow, thanks for all the replies! I'll need time to go through all the information since my last post. The catapult descriptions from the Silapadhigaram constitute a section all on its own. Can someone provide a little more information on the Silapadhigaram? It was written ca 2nd to 3rd Century A.D. by Prince Ilango Adigal of Chera?

What was the whole piece about? It was a poem?

Does anyone else have more information to add to the original list of catapults besides the literal translations of the names from sanskrit?

Ramana, thanks for keeping this in focus.
