Note 773 — Chapter LXI · COUNSELS AND ADMONITIONS[771]
D. C. (Douglas Craven) Phillott translation
In India it was lawful to trap a man’s pigeon but not to keep his lost hawk. In India if a hawk is caught the whole village knows it, and the news at once spreads for a radius of thirty miles. I once lost a hawk in Dera Ghazi Khan which was caught in Kapurthala, but the news of its capture soon reached me. Such instances are common.
