Rasamala was rounded up and handed over to a relative who beat her. She is reported to have said ‘If so much is due to an earthly sovereign, is no obedience to be paid to the authority of the supreme Lord of all?’
The queen was told and ordered her execution. She was chained so as to cause pain overnight then led out in the morning to be put to death. She sang hymns as she went, and it was said of the people that she was using witchcraft. At the place she knelt down to pray, asking forgiveness for her persecuters. She was then speared through the back and heart.
She had sent a letter to a missionary, which she closed with these words of Scripture- Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of his saints. Psalm 116:15
