Note 23 — Chapter IV · WORSHIP OF ANCESTORS AND SAINTS.
Reading edition
An evil spirit called Bābaro had entered the person of the uncle of Māldev the king of Jhālāvād much to the king’s annoyance. Māldev offered a stubborn fight to Bābaro, who, unable to cope with Māldev, promised to extend his kingdom over those villages in which he would hang up bunting in one night. It is said that the present extent of the Jāhlwād territories was due to king Māldev’s enterprise in hanging up bunting over these territories as asked by Bābaro.23
