Dear listmembers,
stone traps for the hunting of wild animals are mentioned in a Jātaka
(pāsāṇa-yantāni sajjenti). Also in a Sinhalese manuscript (12th
century?) I came across the description of a trap by which animals are
killed after "stones set in motion" (gal-peraḷā < parivartana).
I cannot imagine how this happens. The stones are hanging somewhere and
fall down on the animals?
Anyone of you can enlighten me?
Thank you
Heiner
