Mahabharata
EnglishAṇīmāṇḍavyopākhyāna(ṃ). § 172 (Sambhavap.): The history of Māṇḍavya (§ 80) is more fully described. 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 was obliged to cut it off outside the body. Māṇḍavya henceforth walked about with the stake in his life, and thereby conquered lokas unattainable by others and was called Aṇīmāṇḍavya (v. 4329). He ruled that an act should not be sinful when committed by one below the age of 14 years (I, 108).
