<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->Ah, how interesting! These drawings are original illustrations from the Arthashastra or modern recreations by R. Shamasastry or R.P. Kangle based on the Arthashastra text descriptions?<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Not sure. Arthashastra itself is very descriptive, with verses one can draw but I am not sure whether it came from actual Sanskrit text.
<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->Do you have the translations from Sanskrit for those catapult names listed as well?<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Book is concise version from Sanskrit translation version.
I am in US and don't have access to Kangle or Shamasastry version.
