| 116 | "[girl] begs to know please...is there any descriptions of paga being served in AR; and was this stored and served from a bota or some other means as she thought bota's were used only for travelling in Gor and not in the City"
Answer
Hello,
Using the words 'paga', 'bota' and 'Ar', I found only two instances where it
is mentioned that paga, in Ar, is contained in a bota. However, neither one
of these is in the context of a slave serving said paga.
As for quotes pertaining to serves themselves, go to ~The Gorean Cave~ then to The Context Serve link.
Following now are the two quotes.
Fogaban
"Paga! Paga!" called a fellow, with a large bota of paga slung over his
shoulder.

How lofty, I thought, are the walls of Ar. Yet they were only of stone and
mortar. They could be breached. Her bridges could be, as the Goreans have
it, washed in blood. But there were forces of Ar between her walls and the
banners of Cos. It was well.
I stopped for a moment to watch an amusing race. Several slave girls are
aligned, on all fours, poised, their heads down. Then, carefully, a line of
beans, one to a girl, is placed before them. She must then, on all fours,
push the bean before her, touching it only with her nose. The finish line
was a few yards away. "Go!" I heard. The crowd cheered on its favorites. On
this sport, as well as on several others, small bets were placed. Sometimes
a new slave, one who has recently been a haughty, arrogant free woman, is
used in such a race. Such things, aside from their amusing, and fitting,
aspects, are thought to be useful in accommodating her to her new reality,
that of the female slave. In them she learns something more of the range of
activities that may be required of her.
I passed two fellows wrestling in a circle, others watching.
Another group, gathered about a fire, were singing and passing about a bota,
I presume, of paga.
