Arrrggghhhh... dammit. How in the world did I miss that. Thanks Mudy.
Here's more from the same book, chapter V, but no descriptions of the weapons except for recognisable names like the Yantra, Sataghni etc.
"In those canals, there shall be collected stones, spades (kuddála), axes (kuthári), varieties of staffs, cudgel (musrinthi), hammers (mudgara), clubs, discus, machines (yantra), and such weapons as can destroy a hundred persons at once (sataghni), together with spears, tridents, bamboo-sticks with pointed edges made of iron, camel-necks, explosives (agnisamyógas), and whatever else can be devised and formed from available materials."
Mudy, do you know where the weapons are described in detail?
