To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Fiery arms or rockets were, possibly, employed by the Hindus in remote antiquity, as well as in recent times ; whence came the notion of certain mysterious weapons framed of the elements, and to be wielded only by deities and demigods. These make a great figure in the battle-scenes of the Mahabharata and Ramayana, and, to readers who are not Hindus, spoil descriptions which would, else, be not without spirit. For a further account of these weapons, see Translation of the Uttara Rama Charitra. "... The further account here spoken of is found in Professor Wilson's Specimens of the Hindu Theatre, Vol. I. , p. 297, second edition, "These weapons are of a very unintelligible character. Some of them are, occa- sionally, wielded as missiles; but, in general, they appear to be mys- tical powers exercised by the individual, - such as those of paralysing an enemy, or locking his senses fast in sleep, or bringing down storm and rain and fire from heaven. In the usual strain of the Hindu my- thology, they are supposed to assume celestial shapes, endowed with human faculties, and, in this capacity, are alluded to in the text.
