 Brahmavihara Dhamma by Mahasi Sayadaw - Part 1
With the express consent of Thirima, she was taken to Uttara's husband from whom permission was sought by Uttara that for a period of 15 days she would like to freely devote herself to performance of merits and that this Thirima would in the meantime look after him properly.
At this juncture, Uttara asked Thirima with a feeling of reprobation, "0, Thirima, what has made you commit such an awful and serious crime, etc." So saying, she immediately caused her to be given a warm bath and anointed - with an extremely soft grease or jelly (lubricant) to relieve her pain and suffering.
The significant point intended to be stressed in the story now cited is that Uttara, the female devotee, had escaped from the burning heat of the boiling butter-oil poured upon her by virtue of contemplating and developing loving-kindness (metta bhavana).

 Sacred Groves and Sacred Trees of Uttara Kannada...
In humid and hilly Uttara Kannada, which is not favourable for sheep and where cattle are of poor breed, most of the non-Brahmanas depended on hunting and fishing for their protein needs.
We are therefore to view the sacred groves of Uttara Kannada and of the Western Ghats in general not in isolation but as a vital component of the pre-British peasant-managed landscape serving a variety of purposes.
Elsewhere in Uttara Kannada also the sacred groves have been found to be sheltering several plant species which have mostly vanished from areas in between.
