Note 41 — Chapter XVII · [CONTINUATION OF STERN’S COMPOSITION.]
Alphonse Nahuys translation
Bojajas = crocodiles. “To bring a sacrifice to the crocodiles.” Such sacrifices are much in vogue. Some fruits and some pastry, or a few hen’s eggs, are placed on a saucer of bamboo, one or more burning wax-lights are added, all this is placed on the river, and the floating down of many such sacrifices is a beautiful sight. ↑
