Reading edition

In the vicinity of Chhatrasa, there is a temple of Kishordās Hanumān. On Kāli-Chaudas day the people of the village offer churamu and vadān to the god. The shrine of Gebalashā Pīr is situated two miles away from Chhatrasa, on the boundary line between that village and Kalānā. Sweet-balls, or sometimes only molasses, are offered to this Pīr on the fulfilment of vows observed in his name. Near the village gates lies the shrine of Daudshah, of whom it is said that he deprives thieves of their eye-sight, if they try to enter Chhatrasa. In the Vishnu-mandir, annakūt49 is offered to Vishnu by the attendant priest, on the first day of the bright half of Kārtik.50
