		Because the churning rod, Mandara Mountain, was very heavy and was not held by any support in the water, it sank into the ocean, and in this way the prowess of both the demons and the demigods was vanquished.
		O son of the Pandu dynasty, when Mandara Mountain was thus being used as a churning rod in the ocean of milk, it had no support, and therefore although held by the strong hands of the demigods and demons, it sank into the water.
		There were three different parties in the churning of Mandara Mountain--the demigods, who were in the mode of goodness, the demons, who were in the mode of passion, and the snake Vasuki, who was in the mode of ignorance.

		All told the same story of Muslim rulers and Muslim states, which were felt to be in a moral and spiritual decay, but which were at a ’higher’ political and economic stage of progress when compared to the surrounding non-Muslim societies.
		The local Muslim rulers, called Lamido in Adamawa and Sultan in the far North, remained in power, although their power base was much more limited than during the nineteenth century, owing their legitimacy to the Germans and not to the Emir in Yola, the Caliph in Sokoto or the Shehu in Kuka.
		From the early 1900s Muslim rulers and traders were no longer regarded as useful collaborators while the Hausa traders, who before were regarded as being the ’soul of trade in the interior’ were now viewed with suspicion or even regarded as a threat to colonial economic interests and rule.
