Beveridge) 935.5.2 - **Language:** English ### [935.5.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.935.5.2) After food had been sent out, Hindūstānī players were ordered to come and show their tricks. Lūlīs came.\[2401\] Hindūstānī performers shew several feats not shewn by (Tramontane) ones. One is this:—They arrange seven rings, one on the forehead, two on the knees, two of the remaining four on fingers, two on toes, and in an instant set them turning rapidly. Another is this:—Imitating the port of the peacock, they place one hand on the ground, raise up the other and both legs, and then in an instant make rings on the uplifted hand and feet revolve rapidly. Another is this:—In those (Tramontane) countries two people grip one another and turn two somersaults, but Hindūstānī \_lūlīs\_, clinging together, go turning over three or four times. Another is this:—a \_lūlī\_ sets the end of a 12 or 14 foot pole on his middle and holds it upright while another climbs up it and does his \[Sidenote: Fol. 353b.\] tricks up there. Another is this:—A small \_lūlī\_ gets upon a big one's head, and stands there upright while the big one moves quickly from side to side shewing his tricks, the little one shewing his on the big one's head, quite upright and without tottering. Many dancing-girls came also and danced. - [Previous: 935.5.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.935.5.1) - [Next: 935.5.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.935.5.3) - [Up: 935.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.935.5) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.935.5.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.935.5.2) · Pramāṇa
