In 1671 a treasure house at Hilikhā, containing a great store of gold and silver, was burnt down. Enquiry showed that the Bharāli Barua was responsible for the fire, which was caused by his carelessly leaving a lighted pipe near some inflammable material, and he was compelled, as a punishment, to smoke elephants' dung.
