The Drughana, again in shape like the mudgara, is translated as a latchet by Dr. Oppert⁵¹ but probably was a wooden mace or a staff headed with a heavy spiked ball of iron, as is seen from the further details given in the stanza. Its length was from 4 feet to 2 inches, and it was put to four kinds of use. It is also mentioned by Kauṭalya.
