From this I can assert that they are all the same. If they have any other thought, it is to regale themselves with quantities of delicious stews ; to adorn themselves magnificently, either with clothes or jewellery, pearls, et cetera ; to perfume their bodies with odours and essences of every kind. To this must be added that they have permission to enjoy the pleasure of the comedy and the dance, to listen to tales and stories of love, to recline upon beds of flowers, to walk about in gardens, to listen to the murmur of the running waters, to hear singing, and other similar pastimes. - [Previous: 203.4.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.203.4.6) - [Next: 203.5.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.203.5.1) - [Up: 203.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.203.4) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.203.4.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.203.4.7) · Pramāṇa
