They give only of three things to him, either Oyl for his Lamps, or Rice for his Sacrifice, or Money or Cotton Yarn for his use.
Poor men will often go about begging Sustenance for themselves by this means: They will get a Book of Religion, or a Buddou's Image in a Case, wrapping both in a white Cloth, which they carry with great reverence.

And then they beg in the name of the Book or the God.

And the People bow down to them, and give their Charity, either Corn, or Money, or Cotton yarn.

Sometimes they will tell the Beggar, What have I to give?
And he will reply, as the saying is, as much as you can take up between your two fingers is Charity.

After he has received a gift from any, he pronounceth a great deal of blessing upon him, Let the blessing of the Gods and the Buddou go along with you; let your Corn ripen, let your Cattle increase, let your Life be long, &c.
Some being devoutly disposed, will make the Image of this God at their own charge.
