Henna dyed: The river should not be tied with nine chains

The river should not be tied to the wheel with nine chains, the wheel tied to the wheel should be eaten by the khachar. The life of the rose petal is the Champa plant, the ghelo is tied to the ghelo khachar and the petal is eaten. If kadala is sold in chobari chowk, if it is alive, the code of perya is given to moolave ​​pandi. If kambi is sold in chobari chowk, if it is biological, the code of perya is given to moolave ​​pandi. If necklaces are sold in chobari chowk, if there are biographers, the code of Perya is given to Moolave ​​Panddi. If nathani is sold in chobari chowk, if there is life, the code of perya is given to moolave ​​pandi. If Tildi is sold in the chobari chowk, if there is a living person, the code of Perya is given to Moolve Panddi. In Chobari Chowk, if saffron is sold, if it is bionic, Moolave ​​Pandadi is given the code of Parya. Our folk life is labor oriented. In order to keep the laborers from getting tired and cheerful, singing something instead of working, many folk songs show that the religion of labor is done for the convenience and ease of individual and collective life. We have the folk songs of sowing, harvesting, reaping by the farmers and farm labourers, the songs of the weedy reapers, the folk songs of the herdsmen including the tying and letting of the cows, milking, pouring honey, churning ghee, going to sell milk, curd, ghee on foot. It is well known that our ancient civilization lived on the banks of rivers. With the passage of time the population increased, new villages and towns started to be created, so the river either originates from the padar of the village or from the border. There are many advantages of being on the side of the river, but if it rains heavily, if the flood does not recede for a week, it becomes impossible to go from one village to another because there were no bridges on the river then, pedestrians could cross the river when the water receded. When it is necessary to go to a nearby village or city in case of illness, childbirth, deportation, fifty-hundred people of the village, including good swimmers, unite and stand on both sides of the river by tying opposite ends of strong ropes and iron chains and make the affected person cross the river. 'The river should not be tied with nine chains…' is the song of the proletariat. Villagers tied the small river coming out of Padar with nine chains, tied nine chains on opposite banks, so people hold the chain in the water and slowly cross it, but the Ghelo river, which exits from Jasdan and meets the Arabian Sea through Garhda Swami, is very turbulent. When she is not bound by the villagers, a brave, strong man named Ghela Khachar has bound Ghela. Ghelo Nathai Gayi means that organisms like 'Champa plant' are robbing the river of 'Pandadi', like rose petals, by eating sticks from here to there. In Chobari village square, Kadlan, Kambiya, Harlo, Nathani, Tildi, Zarmar are sold, everything is consumed, 'Panddi' is very fond of ornaments, but what to do, the bionic is not with him, so who will buy all this? There is another recitation of this folk song with a few word changes. Some folk singers of Saurashtra sing with different village names instead of chobari in each antara. For example – Kadala is sold in Pithalpar's Chowk… Kambiya is sold in Chittal She'r's Chowk… etc. Instead of 'Pandadi' mentioned here, 'Patali' can also be 'Patali' as in many folk songs 'Patali' is sung for the heroine.
