Actually, it was the Wikipedia article that sparked my
interest. I'm thinking of writing an alternate
history, and it'll feature very heavily such things as
vimanas (vimaanaa? vimaani? what's the Sanskrit
plural?) and such. I'm just looking for ideas and
facts, even dubious ones, to base the history on.
There's a hell of a lot of good reference material on
Sanskrit, but not so much on their legendarium.
