Dear Friends, 

I came across this word below while looking up the meaning of another word in the dictionary. I am curious to know in which text(s) it might be found. Is there a section on capital punishment in the arthaśāstras? 

तुषानल

tuSAnala

m.

capital punishment consisting in twisting  dry straw round a criminal'slimbs and setting it on fire

All the best,
