Kankali's next area of operations was a Shakta monastery. She dyed her hair black and pretended that she was the wife of a merchant. She did this to raise her market value. She was arrested for receiving stolen goods. She was put into prison. But she lost no time in making friends with the jailor and ate good food like fish and cakes and drank wine in his company. One night while the jailor was asleep she set about the task of freeing herself from the prison. She bit the jailor's tongue with her teeth. The man could not cry out and he swooned. Breaking her fetters she escaped from the prison and that very same night she managed to reach Vijayeshvara (Vijbror).
