ABSTRACT

Kabírájs purchase unslaked lime (Gúra-chúná) from the Báotí for medicinal purposes, while the finest and most expensive lime for chewing ‘Panka-chúná’, is prepared with the ashes of tamarind wood.

The `Súdra barber and washerman work for the Báotí, but the Bhúínmálí, owing to some party grudge, will not, and the Muhammadan Beldár has to be engaged whenever the Báotí has house to build, or a ditch to dig.16
