c11.5
In 1050 there was the curious case of the man who vowed to continually pull out the nail of his finger in order to prevent the giving of a fort to a particular person (Sk 152). But his vow was of no avail, and the grant was made. Whereupon he cut off the finger, and climbing to the top of the Bhēruṇḍa pillar, threw himself down on a row of spear-shaped stakes and was killed.¹
