Zamkuba hid in the carcass of a camel
Zamkuba was a native of the village Vagad and had imbibed the values and culture of her family. She was married to the King of Udaipur, but he was of demoniac nature.
He was a non-vegetarian and ate all foods prohibited by the shastras. He even insisted that his queen eat such things against her will. To bring an end to this Zamkuba escapes from the tyranny of the palace harassment and decided to leave the comforts of the palace and run to the feet of God. She tied a rope of saris, descended secretly from her quarters and walked along the sewage track to exit the palace. She continued walking, but she did not know the way to Gadhada. By this time it was already daybreak. Fearing that the state soldiers would find her, she hid in the carcass of a camel lying in a trench. (Ch. 17, p. 64-65) |
