All this was in the full heat of the sun. The rajah prayed him to have compassion on him and his army. Should his petition not prevail, neither he nor his 'animals' could eat anything. Their idea was that they would be excommunicated if they did. The cunning cheat dissembled.

The knave, on hearing these words, made a slight movement with the corner of his eye in sign of consent. At once the rajah sent for a tent, and caused all his women to appear.

Thus all were satisfied, and when night descended the Jogi disappeared. - [Previous: 238.5.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.238.5.7) - [Next: 238.6.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.238.6.1) - [Up: 238.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.238.5) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.238.5.8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.238.5.8) · Pramāṇa
