He never took any food
that was not forced upon him. He seemed always without external
consciousness. To remove this condition Dr. Graham applied ammonia to
his nostrils; but it only produced tremblings in the body, and did not
break his Yoga state. Three days passed before he could be made to
speak. He said that his name was Dulla Nabab, and when annoyed, he
uttered a single word, from which it was inferred that he was a Punjabi.
When he was laid up with gout Dr. Graham attended him, but he refused to
take medicine, either in the form of powder or mixture. He was cured of
the disease only by the application of ointments and liniments
prescribed by the doctor. He died in the month of Chaitra 1755 Sakabda,
of a choleric affection.*--The Tatwabodhini Patrika, Chaitra, 1768
Sakabda, corresponding to March, 1847 A.C.
