It was this : One of my servants, passing through a field of radishes, stretched out his hand to pluck one out of the ground, when his hand adhered in such a fashion to the radish that he could not take it away. It was necessary to find the owner of the field to get him liberated. This was done, and after taking something as a bribe and giving him a beating, the owner recited some words and the man was freed. I could never sufficiently state to what an extent the Hindus and the Mahomedans in India are in the habit of practising witchcraft. I quite well know that if I were to recount that they can even make a cock crow in the belly of the man who stole and ate it, no credit would be given to me. Nevertheless, the truth is that many a time I heard the crowing in different cases, and of such instances I was told over and over again. - [Previous: 119.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.119.4) - [Next: 119.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.119.6) - [Up: 119](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.119) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.119.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.119.5) · Pramāṇa
