      सोमेश्वर भगवान कथा 

  एक बगत सौणु नि नस्यु  जात्रा सोमेश्वर भगवानै।
क्या ह्वै रौ  कि ऊंका परिवार मा स्वैण लाड़ीक पर बड़ा बड़ा दुखदा रै फूटी नि ह्वै खूब ।
त्योन भेंट धरी सोमेश्वर भगवानै अर खूब री ह्वै दुखणा न फुन्सी ह्वै तब एति कथा एति बात। 

  Once upon a time, Saunu did not go for Someshwar Jatra.

Someshwar became angry. There were pimples/boils all over bodies of Saunu, his wife and his children. They were in deep pain. They remembered Someshwar deity and offered gifts to Someshwar god. Someshwar deity became pleased and there were no pimples on their bodies. Everything became alright.

This is the story.
