Dear Members

I am now reading the book in 13th c. describing dances and gestures.
Many kind of weapons appear in the description of play. I am confused
with many names of weapons. I can not imagine them. If anyone know some
handbook or guidebook about ancient Indian weapons written in English,
Hindu or Sanskrit, Please let me know.
Best Regards

Dear Mr Yasuhiro Okazaki,

Having read your mails as well as replies to the same by many others on the
[Y-Indology] group mail, I'd like to inform all of you that presently we are
publishing a series of books on INDIA'S SCIENTIFIC HERITAGE - an on-going
series, the general editor of which is Dr L M Singhvi with an editorial
panel of about 20 - 25 scholars across the world.

Ancient / Medieval Indian Weapons based on Dhanurveda seems quite an
interesting topic for such a series. If you or any other scholar or scholars
even from this group are interested in working on such a comprehensive book
it would be an exclusive topic to attempt. All those interested are welcome
to get back.

Regards

RP Jain

museum collections, and perhaps the terminology of weapons would have
changed less between the 13th c. and the 18th or 19th than from "ancient
India" and the 13th. One mustn't assume the same word meant the same thing
continuously or in all regions.
