fakir

• A group of old fakirs were capering and making a wild ado round the statue ; te 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
  在这尊神像的四周，围着有一群疯疯癫癫的老托钵僧。他们身上象斑马似的画着赭黄色的条纹，并且割开一些十字形伤口，鲜血一滴滴地流出来。
