3.1.5

One lak and one thousand infantry are always in the service of the Rajah. And the country of Kamrup which is also called Karuru or Kamtah is subject to those Rajahs. The inhabitants of Kamrup are good-looking, and in magic raise the standard of mastery; and many incredible stories are related regarding them. In respect of the flora of that place, it is said that the scent of the flowers continues as fresh as before, some months after their being plucked, and that with these necklaces are made, and that by cutting trees a sweet liquid is obtained, and that the mango-tree trails like a climbing vine over ponds, and produces mango-fruit; and other similar stories are related.
