Autobiography of Lutfullah, a Mohamedan gentleman: and his transactions with his fellow creatures

1810 Baroda: I was much amused at Baroda with a tame rhinoceros, kept at one of the gates of the city, known by the name of the animal. It is the most powerful animal on the face of the earth. I was so fond of looking at the creature during my stay at Baroda, that I spent many hours of leisure in sitting with the keepers, and staring at the animal.
