Note 28 — The Twelfth New Year’s Feast after my auspicious accession.
Alexander Rogers translation
The account is obscure. Elliot’s translation is “In the root of the tree is found a lump of sweet substance which is exactly like that of Faluda. It is eaten by the poor.” The text and some MSS. have yak pārcha-i-s͟hīrīnī, but B. M. Or. 3276 has yak pāra. Roxburgh says nothing about any such growth on the wild plantain. Fālūdā or pālūda is the name of a sweetmeat. ↑
