Chandrahasa- 'laughter of the moon', of Ravana Paulastya

Nistrimsha- Pradyumna's sword
Ceremonial double edged antennae sword from Sanauli. Measures 49.3 cm in length & 3.4 cm breadth with a mid-rib. The hilt flares out to 21 cms. The copper sheath 37cms long was buried without it's sword or master- perhaps cremated or his body unrecovered.
Fig I- A true copper sword from Mohenjodaro (37.80 × 3.70 cm) from Mature Harappan period. This could be the oldest intact war worthy blade from the Indian subcontinent.

Fig II- Another ceremonial copper antennae sword measuring 43 x 3.84 cm from Sanauli.
