Note 52 — Chapter XI · GENERAL.
Reading edition
Amongst Dheds, Kolis, Rāvals and other low castes a post of the wood of the tamarind tree is planted in the ground and surrounded by women holding whips and cords in their hands. A party of men run to the women to drive them away and take possession of the post. The women prevent them from doing so by striking them with all their might with the whips and cords in their hands. This struggle commences at 10 A. M. on the Dhuleti day and continues till one o’clock in the morning on the following day. At last the men succeed in carrying away the post, thus ending the game.52
