I have commented on the 'tuning fork' long time ago, so I don't think I will do so again.

OOooooooh
Your 'comment' about not commenting does come across as rather prickly Jens

Do as you wish matey, the thread was just a bit of fun, not specifically directed at you or anyone else.

Perhaps I should continue your theme with a more fittingly laconic reply borrowed from todays youth and simply say..... "whatever"

[Jens Nordlunde]

Yes, you could try that if you like .
You see Atlantia, you English is probably far better than mine, as I am not form an English speaking country.

Hi All,

Very interesting ....

I remember reading someplace that one of the characteristics of weapons was "Dwhani" or "sound". The characteristics included:

1. Dhatu -- Metals or alloys used.
2. Dwhani/Shabda -- Sound
3. Dharma -- Purpose of use. (Fighting, ceremonial, sacrificial etc)

There are a couple of others which I'm unable to recall at the moment.

The weapons of Hindu origin were classified as following based on the sound quality and clarity.

1. Brahman
2. Kshatriya
3. Vaishya
4. Shudra.

Don't have material around this now.

However, it will be interesting to note observations and knowledge shared by fellow collectors.


Thanks,
Bhushan
