³ Compare K.N.K., 121-4, for details for cosmetics and powders. Compare ibid., 153-5, for the provisions of the chase. The compiler gives detailed instructions. Among other articles, he advises that the ‘shikar-kit’ should include a light handkerchief to find out the direction in which the wind is blowing, a special suit of clothes, an astrolabe to indicate the hour, a portable shooting box (hut), and even some sandalwood and camphor to rub on the feet before putting on shoes and socks. He also advises some camphor to be sewn inside the shoes to avoid the odour of perspiration.
