Ancient sanskrit epic?

In the trivia section, it is stated:

"Word-for-word transcription of an ancient Sanskrit epic, right down to the nuclear sub."

So, what the hell does that mean? Is there an "ancient sanskrit epic", that in some Nostradamus kind of future-telling way, described the events in the film, right down to the nuclear submarine?

Facts, please. I want this verified. What "ancient sanskrit epic"? Wo wrote it? When was it first published? Is it available online? This sounds like a bogus scam, to me. Someone is trolling the trivia section.

I'm calling B.S. on this one, too. At least until someone steps forward to explain it. The sad thing is, a search of "Ice Station Zebra Sanskrit" reveals that none other than CNN's Larry King spread this unattributed factoid to his followers on Twitter recently. Sigh.
