विपर्यये चापं चापकुकुषिः प्रतिष्ठः सुप्रतिष्ठश्च ॥ कZ_१०.६.१३ ॥
viparyaye cāpaṃ cāpakukuṣiḥ pratiṣṭhaḥ supratiṣṭhaś ca
In der umgekehrten Anordnung (viparyaya) werden «Cāpa» (Bogen) und «Cāpa-kukuṣi» (Bogenbauch) als «Pratiṣṭha» (stabil) bzw. «Supratiṣṭha» (sehr stabil) bezeichnet.
It creates a standardized risk/stability vocabulary for commanders—useful for choosing arrays based on troop quality, terrain, and threat of breakthrough.
