Ah I see. Ok then. Do post more of the descriptions of the catapults when you can? I'm really dying to know how they might have worked.

No problem. I just need the translations for the names. eg. Sarvatobhadra is "All Directions Safe or Pacified"

I think with these new catapults Asphatima, Jamadagnya & Yanaka I can probably fill at least another page on Indian catapults for my book.
