I have said already (III. 16) that it is the custom in the royal household, when a physician is called within the mahal, for the eunuch to cover his head with a cloth, which hangs down to his waist. They then conduct him to the patient's room, and he is taken out in the same manner. The first time that \[41\] I was led through the palace I was fitted out in the above fashion, but, by premeditation, I walked as slowly as I could, in spite of the urging of my guides, the eunuchs. The prince, having seen this, ordered them to uncover me, and that in future I was to be allowed to come in and go out without being covered. He said that the minds of Christians were not filthy like those of Mahomedans. - [Previous: 211.4.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.211.4.6) - [Next: 211.5.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.211.5.1) - [Up: 211.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.211.4) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.211.4.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.211.4.7) · Pramāṇa
