Thanks Mudy,
Does the book give more information on these catapults?
1. Asphatima - A mobile Catapult.
2. Sarvatobhadra - A machine like a cart-wheel for thowing stones.
3. Jamadagnya - A machine to shoot arrows.
4. Yanaka - A rotating machine to throw logs
Arthashastra was written ca. 4th century B.C. by Kautilya (ca. 350 - 275 B.C.), Prime Minister to Emperor Chandragupta Maurya and a teacher in the ancient Indian Takshashila university?
