The Cours, as I before observed, consists of figures in silver, representing strange animals, hands, balances, fishes and other mystical objects, borne at the end of large silver poles. A numerous body of Mansebdars or inferior Omrahs comes next, well mounted, and equipped with sword, quiver, and arrows. This body is much more numerous than that of Omrahs, which follows the King ; because not only the Mansebdars who are on duty are obliged to assemble at break of day near the royal tent, for the purpose of accompanying the King, but there are many who join the train in the hope of attracting notice and obtaining preferment. - [Previous: 9.3.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.bernier~en-constable.9.3.4) - [Next: 9.3.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.bernier~en-constable.9.3.6) - [Up: 9.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.bernier~en-constable.9.3) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.bernier~en-constable.9.3.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.bernier~en-constable.9.3.5) · Pramāṇa
