A group of old fakirs were capering and making a wild ado round the statue; these were striped with ochre, and covered with cuts whence their blood issued drop by drop--stupid fanatics, who, in the great Indian ceremonies, still throw themselves under the wheels of Juggernaut.
Alrededor de la estatua se movía y agitaba, en convulsiones, un grupo de fakires, listados con bandas de ocre, cubiertos de incisiones cruciales que goteaban sangre, energúmenos estúpidos que en las ceremonias se precipitaban aún bajo las ruedas del carro de Jaggernaut.
