That day we halted at a river which we crossed on a ferry made of bamboo canes; then we travelled on from there to Manār Mandalī — its spelling: with a after the m and the n, then an alif, an unvowelled r, an m with a, an unvowelled n, a d with a, an l with i, and a y — a fine town which is the last of the Sultan's territory. Its people gave us fine hospitality, their hospitality being buffalo calves which they hunt in a forest there and bring alive, and they brought rice, ghee, fish, chickens and milk.
