PURPORT

The cariga was a device for killing a condemned person. It consisted of a raised
platform on which the condemned was made to stand. Underneath the platform,
there were stationary upright swords. The condemned man would be pushed
down onto the swords, and in this way he would die. For some reason, Gopinatha
Pattanayaka had been condemned to death and had therefore been raised upon
the carga.
