Note 68 — Chapter II · HEROIC GODLINGS

Reading edition

About ten years ago Unād Bhagat and Jivā Bhagat of Paliad were one day walking together, when Unād Bhagat collected seven stones and placing them one over the other, said to Jivā Bhagat that he was constructing a pālio, i.e., a tomb for Jivā. Immediately Jivā died, and Unād had to carry out what was merely meant in jest. Some rooms are built at the expense of the Jasdan Durbar, and a pujāri daily offers worship to Jivā Bhagat. A fair is also held in his honour on the second day of Bhādrapad.68
