This is a very wild and ferocious beast. In whatever manner it attacks one it proves fatal: whether it strike with its horns, or kick, or overthrow its victim. If it has no opportunity of doing any of these things, it tosses its enemy with its tongue, twenty gaz into the air, and he is dead before reaching the ground. One male kutás is a load for twelve horses. One man cannot possibly raise a shoulder of the animal. In the days of my forays \[kazáki\] I killed a kutás, and divided it among seventy persons, when each had sufficient flesh for four days. This animal is not to be met with outside the country of Tibet. The remaining particulars concerning Tibet will be given in the account of the campaign. - [Previous: 214.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.214.6) - [Next: 215](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.215) - [Up: 214](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.214) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.214.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.214.7) · Pramāṇa
