कुमाऊं और गढ़वाल की लोक गाथाएँ/जागर -18
गढू सुम्याळ जागर :भडौ , कटकू, भड़वळि या पांवड़ा
सन्दर्भ: शिव नारायण सिंह बिष्ट , गढ़ु सुम्याळ, और हरी दत्त भट शैलेश )
गढू सुम्याळ जागर :भडौ , कटकू, भड़वळि या पांवड़ा
सन्दर्भ: शिव नारायण सिंह बिष्ट , गढ़ु सुम्याळ, और हरी दत्त भट शैलेश )
खिमसारी हाट रंदो गढू सुम्याळ,
मालू मा को माल होलो वो सुम्याळ
तखरिया माल होलू गढू त सुम्याळ
जैका बाबू , दादान तलवारी मारे
वैका बेटा बि तरखार मारी लालो
खिमसारी हाट मा पड़े घुरमी अकाळ
तड़फी तड़फी मरीन लोग उखड़ सी माछा
जागु जागु पड़ीन डाला का सा गेंडा
स्वागीण रांड ह्वैन कोली का मरीन बाला
ज्वाती नी भुंचा कैन, जिंदगी नी भोगी
तड़ी -तपड़ी करी, कमाई सब खाई याले
भूख मरण लगै गढू सुम्याळ
चल मेरी जिया , लीला देइ
आरुणी जंगल जौला , जड़ी बूटी खौला
माता लेक तब गढू , माल ऐगे आरुणी जंगल
-----------------------------------------------
तब दीपकोट मा वैन
कोटू बोणो कर याले
बैरी को एक नि रखे
रिझाना को सी शेष
तब सुरमा लीक , गढ़ु सुम्याळ
खिमसारी ऐगे
माता ने बालो भेंटे
ब्वारीन सासु का पैर छुंयाँ
खिमसारी कोट मा, बड़ो आनंद बढ़
मर्द मरी गैन , बोल रई गैन
मर्दु का पंवाडा , गाया गैन
Gadhu Sumyal was great brave man of Khimsari Hat. His father and forefathers were brave Bhad. Once, there was worse famine in the region. People started starving. Children died on their mother’s hands. Women became widow. There was severe food shortage in the hose of Gadhu Sumyal.
Gadhu Sumyal suggested his mother Lilavati to migrate for Aruni forest. Mother and son started living on forest produces. Lilavati remembers the buffalos and cows of Deepu the elder uncle of Gadhu. She advised Gadhu Sumyal to bring buffalo of Dipu by bartering her necklace. Gadhu went to his elder uncle with his mother’s necklace. Gadhu asks Dipu of Dipkot to give milk producing buffalo against gold necklace. Dipu got conspiracy idea to kill Gadhu Sumyal. Dipu tells his conspiracy idea to his sons. Dipu sent Gadhu Sumyal to jungle for taking buffalo. Gadhu went to jungle and sons of Dipu followed him. Sons of Dipu threw big stones on Gadhu Sumyal. Gadhu Sumyal caught their hands and asked for buffalo. They gave buffalo to him. Gadhu Sumyal returned to Aruni forest taking buffalo on his arms. When Lilavati saw buffalo she started weeping as the buffalo was infertile and she was unable to produce milk. They prayed for god and buffalo started producing milk.
Gadhu Sumyal was great flute player. One day, he was playing flute in forest. A princess Surma used to live nearby. Surma was attracted to music of flute playing by Gadhu Sumyal and became his lover in her own mind. She searched Gadhu Sumyal for nine days and nine nights. At last she met Gadhu Sumyal. Gadhu took Surma and went before his mother. Gadhu Sumyal married to Surma. Prosperously, those three started live happily.
Dip was very jealous seeing Gadhu’s prosperity. Dip thought again to destroy Gadhu Sumyal. Dip went to his nephew and asked him to collect taxes from Talla Salan and Malla Salan (South of Garhwal is called Salan). Dipu told a lie to Gadhu Sumyal that Salanis killed his father Udi. Gadhu was angry to hear the story and became ready to take revenge the killing of his father by Salanis.
Gadhu became ready with weapons and ammunition. Surma became unhappy to know her husband going to Salan. Surma advised her husband not to go Salan. However, Gadhu Sumyal made her understand. Surma advised Gadhu not to walk aloof path and without checking not to sit on a cot.
Gadhu Sumyal started his journey for Salan by riding on horse. Salanis came to know arrival of Gadhu Sumyal and they also made strategy to kill him. Salanis dig a long dike and put the cot on it. Gadhu Sumyal came and Salanis offered him to sit on cot. Gadhu checked the cot by his stick and found the conspiracy. Gadhu Sumyal killed his enemies by swords. After winning Gadhu Sumyal added new taxes.
There in Dipokot, Dipu made another conspiracy. He gave gold coins to maternal uncle of Surma and wanted to make Surma as his son’s wife. Surma’s maternal uncle called Surma to Dipkot. The marriage procession was ready. By any means, Surma was sat into Pinas. The servants started to take Surma on Pinas. Surma saw Gadhu cooking food. She threw stones on cooking food. Gadhu recognized hands of his wife Surma.
Gadhu reached to Pinas. Surma told the real story. Gadhu Sumyal became angry. Gadhu Sumyal killed Dipu and his seven sons.
After killing enemies, Gadhu Sumyal reached Khimsari hat and met his mother. Surma touched her mother in law’s feet. There was joy ever where in Khimsari hat. Happily, joyfully all congratulated Gadhu Sumyal.
