∗ *Ibratnama*, Kamraj, 66*a*. Yoking donkeys in a plough and driving them over the ruins of a captured fort was a well-known practice. See Elliot Supp. Gloss. under Gadhe ka hal, or donkey plough. The practice was known to the Tamils in early times, see Dr. G. N. Pope's article in *R. A. S. Journal*, April, 1899, p. 252: "Asses are yoked to plough up the soil with spears, while worthless plants are sown on the foundations. Thus rages the conquering king."
