Suspicion had fallen upon him, because thieves had hid their plunder in his hermitage, while he was sitting for years with his arms upraised observing the vow of silence. When impaled, he by his ascetic power not only preserved his life, but summoned other ṛshis to the scene, who came in the night in the shape of birds (I, 107). Hearing that he was alive, the king asked his pardon and endeavoured to extract the stake from his body, but obliged to cut it off outside the body. Māṇḍavya henceforth walked about with the stake inside, and thereby conquered lokas unattainable by others (Aṇimāṇḍavya (v. 4329). He ruled that an act is sinful when committed by one below the age of 14 (v. 4339). Aṇimāṇḍavya (Sabhāv.): II, 9, 362 (among the ṛshis); B. has Maṇiman, PCR. has Aṇimāṇḍavya.
