That was shown \[109\] more especially on an occasion, of which these are the details. The king took it into his head to fix the costume of the women in his harem, dividing them into groups or companies — that is, so many got up in such a manner and in such colours, another company in another colour, and so on for the whole of them. He was also anxious that these clothes should all be of the finest materials procurable. But when he set to work on this fantastic idea, he found there were three pieces of stuff deficient in the quantity required for one of the divisions. He had these pieces searched for everywhere, but nowhere could they be found. Finally, they told him that he might perhaps find some pieces at Ja'far Khan's, for he was always provided with whatever was most scarce and curious. - [Previous: 294.2.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.294.2.7) - [Next: 294.3.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.294.3.1) - [Up: 294.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.294.2) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.294.2.8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.294.2.8) · Pramāṇa
