c2.193

Bhoja closes this section with a reference to military equipment in forts, bows, *śataghnīs* and a weapon newly mentioned by Bhoja, the *Ushtra-grīva* (camel's neck), resembling probably the modern cranes. He also indicates here the classification into *Guptyartha* and *Krīḍārtha*, protective military yantras, and yantras for sport and entertainment. (108).
