He told me that, being a shepherd, he lived on camel's milk and ate much cheese and curds made when the milk turns sour. I discovered in this way that the odour of his perspiration and of his urine arose from this kind of diet, the heat of India having drawn out the smell. Thus I ordered him to eat what he ate in his own country. Continuing with some tonic extract of coral, I restored him to health in five days, and the envoy was so pleased that he made me a present of nine melons and a quantity of dried fruit. He entreated me to continue in his house, and did all he could think of to persuade me to go with him, promising to procure for me from the King of Balkh lands and herds of horses and camels and flocks of sheep. He said I should be highly esteemed by the king and all the court. - [Previous: 88.1.8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.88.1.8) - [Next: 88.2.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.88.2.2) - [Up: 88.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.88.2) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.88.2.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.88.2.1) · Pramāṇa
