譬如艾利希·冯·丹尼在书中捏造引述《摩诃婆罗多》有“古尔卡乘着快速的维马纳,向敌方三个城市发射了一枚导弹。此导弹似有整个宇宙力,其亮度犹如万个太阳,烟火柱滚升入天空,壮观无比。”(Gurkha, flying a swift and powerful vimana (fast aircraft)hurled a single projectile (rocket)charged with the power of the Universe (nuclear device). An incandescent column of smoke and flame, as bright as ten thousand suns, rose with all its splendor.),以作为古印度曾有核战的证明,但《摩诃婆罗多》根本无此段文字[13][14]。
