■* Another common Hindu game, said to be known throughout India, is called 

 Pulijudam or " tiger game." Three "tigers" are placed on the board (tig. 182) at the 

 points indicated by black spots. The other player has fifteen " lambs," which he lays 

 down at the points of intersection, one by one, alternating with the move of a tiger. 

 The tigers endeavor to Jump over and kill the lambs, and tlie latter to pen in the 

 tigers.
