Reading edition
14. Miran Dātār:—The celebrated tomb of this Pir is in the village of Unjhā near Baroda, where a fair is held every Friday in Shrāvan. Persons possessed by evil spirits are said to be cured by visiting this tomb and offering an image of a horse stuffed with cotton, and a cocoanut. People from all parts of Gujarāt and from distant places suffering from physical infirmities, observe vows in honour of this Pir. Some wear iron wristlets round their wrists in his honour.47
