Note 56 — Chapter II · HEROIC GODLINGS
Reading edition
In Paj, near Sultanpur there is a shrine of Gebansha Pīr surrounded by a number of bābhul trees; and it is said that if a person were to cut any of the trees, he would meet with death or at least fall ill. There is a cobra deity, called Khetalo, near Sultanpur whose gors (attendant priests) are Nāgmagā Brahmans. It is believed that this deity confers once on each generation of the gors, as much wealth as would suffice for the lifetime of all men of that generation.56
