Sagal Shah, resigned to his fate, said “All right, Maharaj, I will have myself killed and cooked and served to you.” This only made the aghori wilder. “Dunce! You are an old man. Think how stringy and tough your meat will be. I want a young child. Take his brains and fry them for me.’’ Sagal Shah said, “I have a young son who is in school right now. I will go and bring him and have his brains cooked for you.” His wife, who was pregnant, also realized that it had to be done, to fulfill the vow.
