With this object in view, they keep an eye continually upon what is being done in that respect. Usually the viceroys and governors are in a constant state of quarrel with the Hindu princes and zamlndars — with some because they wish to seize their lands ; with others, to force them to pay more revenue than is customary. It now remains to say something of what grows in the territories of the Hindu princes. In the country of the King Rana there is much grain, many papoles (? papaya), which is a certain fruit of India, poppy plants from which opium is obtained, ginger, and Indian saffron (turmeric), which is a kind of small yellow root. The Rana owns several copper mines, and in his country are manufactured several kinds of coarse printed cloth. The lands of the Rathor, who rules nine districts, are for the most part all sand ; they have little or no water. The wells in some places are so deep that the water is drawn with the help of oxen. When water is to be drawn, those who set these animals to work beat a drum as a warning that the pot is at the mouth of the well, and they are about to draw water. The cereals grown in this country come up by help of the rain only. There are a great many camels and dromedaries without \[long\] hair. - [Previous: 237.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.237.1) - [Next: 237.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.237.3) - [Up: 237](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.237) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.237.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.237.2) · Pramāṇa
