“... nor did the conqueror (Hyder Ali) take any notice of the Zamorine’s complaints and supplications. The unfortunate prince, after fasting three days, and finding all remonstrance vain, set fire to his palace, and was burned, with some of his women and their brahmins.”—*Ibid.* iv. 207-8; [2nd ed. ii. 477].
