Note 67 — Chapter II · HEROIC GODLINGS
Reading edition
During the famine of the year 1895 Samvat era (= 1839 A. D.) the bhuvā was thinking of leaving the Mātā in order to escape from starvation, when the goddess appeared in a dream to him, and told him that he would find half a rupee every morning in the temple until he saw and partook of the new harvest. In the month of Shrāvan, he happened to partake of some new seeds and the coin could not be found as usual after this, although the new harvest was not quite ready till three months afterwards. At the entreaties of the bhuvā, however, the Mātā again told him in a dream that he would find a silver anklet, weighing 60 tolas, on the bhogavā (village boundary) of the village of Shiyani. A number of vows are observed in honour of this goddess with various motives.67
