           रवांइ गढ़वाल क्षेत्र का प्रचलित   लोक गीत- 17

रवांइ क्षेत्र से जागर या धार्मिक अनुष्ठान के लोक गीत/कथायें    -10 
 
                  (मूल -डा जगदीश 'जग्गू' नौडियाल) ( इंटरनेट प्रस्तुति  एवं अतिरिक्त व्याखा - भीष्म कुकरेती )

                             कपलावीर  
एक न कपला वीर मं जैकार (फटकार) मारी को कि थाई एक बरस लौ ठीक ठीक रौ फिर एक बरस का बादवेका घर मा भारी कष्ट ऐ रौ , ताही स्वैण नै रै परलोक। लाड़ीक को टुटी मरी बौगुड़ो,और क्यारी नस्यु पगार।बाकी बोल पड़ी। कपलौ दोष रौ। उपाय कौर। वाही उपाय कौरि भेंट चढै पूजा दे तब ह्वै रै शांत।

        Once, Kapla Veer became annoyed on a person. Kapla Veer cursed the person. Nothing happened for a year but second year, there was bad news for him. His wife died. The fertile field became rough field. The future teller told to pray Kapla Veer. He performed ritual for worshipping Kapla Veer. He offered gifts to Kapla Veer. Kapla veer was pleased. Everything became alright.
