8. Burial.

The Jogis are buried sitting cross-legged with the face to the north

in a tomb which has a recess like those of Muhammadans. A gourd full

of milk and some bread in a wallet, a crutch and one or two earthen

vessels are placed in the grave for the sustenance of the soul. Salt

is put on the body and a ball of wheat-flour is laid on the breast

of the corpse and then deposited on the top of the grave.
