Folklore
Once Godara king had sent his messenger to King "Chokha Singh Sihag" of Jangladesh to irritate king and provoke him to fight. So, that messenger went to Devasar village near Pallu. There is a pond in Devasar village where Chokha Singh ji used to take bath and meditated on its shore. Chokha Singh was meditating when that messenger reached him. The messenger reached him and said," I am a messenger of Godaras, give me some offerings". Chokha Singh replied, " If you want to have food, it will be prepared soon but I don't give offerings." As the messenger was ordered to say to Chokha Singh, he said,"What type of king you are?" On this, Chokha Singh took a handful of water and splashed it onto the messenger. Chokha Singh said," Take this and go away". But the messenger was astonished on seeing that the water had turned into gold Ashrafis. When the messenger returned to Godara king, he told them:-
- "सियागां मैं सम्प घणों, दूजी जात न जोड़
- सियाग चोखै दान दियो, छपन लाख करोड़ "
There's an old tale famous about Pallu (capital of Sihag's) in Rajasthan that, once there was a Jat King named Mungamdhadka. He married his daughter Pallu to Sahib named prince of Delhi but internally he didn't want to. Therefore he gave venom to Sahib in lunch who afterwords died in Delhi fort. After some time he guided his son for investigating whether Sahib is alive or dead but ironically Pallu herself killed her brother in anger. After this Jat said -
- "जावै सो आवै नहीं, यो ही बड़ो हिलूर (फितूर)।
- के गिटगी पल्लू पापणी, के गिटगो कोट किलूर ।।"
Famous quotes containing the word folklore:
“Someday soon, we hope that all middle and high school will have required courses in child rearing for girls and boys to help prepare them for one of the most important and rewarding tasks of their adulthood: being a parent. Most of us become parents in our lifetime and it is not acceptable for young people to be steeped in ignorance or questionable folklore when they begin their critical journey as mothers and fathers.”
—James P. Comer (20th century)
“So, too, if, to our surprise, we should meet one of these morons whose remarks are so conspicuous a part of the folklore of the world of the radio—remarks made without using either the tongue or the brain, spouted much like the spoutings of small whales—we should recognize him as below the level of nature but not as below the level of the imagination.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
