________________ 168 Vodangas remarks about the Pratodayantra :- “...by Gaņeśa son of Kesava of Nandigrāma, of a special variety of yantra called pratodayantra and made of ivory or simsa wood, to be used in battle, when mounted on horseback, as a sort of charm". It appears from the description that the instrument was meant for the use of soldiers on horseback so that they should be able to know information about the movements of the planets even when they are on horseback.
