But on such occasions many unite together, and, without leaving a trace, raise the load into the air, and getting it to a place of security, eat amicably all that is to be found. A similar case happened to some Armenian merchants. They were in a village on Easter Eve, and at night were cooking some mutton and some fowls in a large cauldron, which they left upon the fire. Then they went to sleep, and next morning they could not find the cauldron. By diligent search they found the cauldron in an orchard outside the village, where it had been carried by dogs. The dogs of a place called Burjamguel (? Bhagwan-golah), in the neighbourhood of Bengal, and near the river Ganges, are very famous in this respect. When Hindu travellers arrive at the place, they go to the river bank, they draw a circle on the ground, and within it with their own hands cook their food. While they are busy with this process, a number of dogs collect, placing themselves at a distance one from the other, seated on the ground as if waiting for some food to be thrown to them. When all is ready, and the food placed in the dishes, the Hindu waits for it to cool. The dogs know by the smell that the table is laid. Two of them rise from their post and simulate a fight, while the other dogs that had been scattered about run up to take part, and raise a great noise. - [Previous: 264.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.264.2) - [Next: 264.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.264.4) - [Up: 264](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.264) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.264.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.264.3) · Pramāṇa
