There they encounter the brother of the bridegroom with a stick, thin but at the same time strong, held in his right hand. At this moment the bride comes out of the house carrying in her right hand a ball of cowdung and mud. When the brother-in-law sees her, he asks her with what object she is going out. To this she replies that it is to get married to him who seeks her, and to offer him what she has in her hand to eat. Forthwith she hurls the ball at the brother-in-law's nose. He, not to have the worst of it and to give her something for her dose to him, falls upon her with the stick he has in his hand, and lays on most valiantly till she seeks shelter in the house. - [Previous: 260.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.260.1) - [Next: 260.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.260.3) - [Up: 260](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.260) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.260.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.260.2) · Pramāṇa
