"Allowing the British bring ammunition from the warehouse would mean heavy casualties of the Udayal Padai soldiers. The warehouse had to be destroyed. Kuyili immediately rushed towards the deity where a large ghee oil lamp was burning. Two British sepoys shot at her. The wounded Kuyili rushed forward. There was a pot of ghee oil nearby. The valorous woman captain poured the ghee from the pot and emptied it over herself. Holding the ghee oil lamp, she rushed towards the warehouse. British sepoys rushing towards the warehouse suddenly stopped as they realized what was going to happen. In no time, the warehouse exploded."
