By the light of the moon, which was not very bright, I observed coming towards me some strings of camels and oxen laden with goods, guarded by some mounted soldiers. To afford myself a bit of a game, I drew my sword and charged them, with shouts of 'Mora, mora !' \[Mãro, mãro ! (Strike, strike !)\]. On hearing my cries all the men fled and abandoned the animals. When I had arrived quite close, and found there was no one there, I rode my horse in all directions, crying out that I was only joking ; moreover, I was no thief, therefore let them return and look after their animals. My voice was given to the winds, since no one appeared. I resumed my journey, and made for my house. Afterwards I learnt that it was the baggage of a viceroy, who was proceeding to his government of \[90\] the province of Ajmer; but no one ever found out that it was I who had caused the stampede. - [Previous: 353.3.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.353.3.7) - [Next: 353.4.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.353.4.2) - [Up: 353.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.353.4) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.353.4.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.353.4.1) · Pramāṇa
