paragraph 264

Of the Brahmans

In that country is another island in which the folk are good and true, although they have not the right faith. And no one hath hatred of man, or envy, or pride, or covetousness, or lust, or gluttony, and well they keep the ten commandments. And they do no evil to anyone unless he does evil to them, and they have not very much wealth or cattle, and they swear not at all, but (say simply) yea or nay.
