Note 11 — CHAPTER 5
Reading edition
Saropa is the Rajput term for khilat, and is used by those who, like the Rana of Udaipur, prefer the vernacular dialect to the corrupt jargon of the Islamite. Sar-o-pa (from ‘head,’ sar, to ‘foot,’ pa) means a complete dress; in short, cap-à-pied. [See Yule, Hobson-Jobson, 2nd ed. 808.]
