190 R, C. Temple— Some Hindu Folksongs from the Fanjdb. [No. 3 
Turn long, ham ilayachi ; 
Rae Mamoluwa bo, 
Bik’ge pansariye d en hat : 
Mera man tarn liya bo. 
Kangra. 
The sunshine is growing hot ; 
O Rai Mamolu. 
How shall we go along the road ? 
O you have captured my heart. 
You be the horse, I the carriage ; 
0 Rai Mamolu, 
We will go along together : 
O you have captured my heart. 
You be the looking-glass, I the looking-glass ring ; 
0 Rai Mamolu, 
Looking pretty on beauty’s hand : 
O you have captured my heart. 
You be the champ a, I the maVti flower ; 
O Rai Mamolu, 
Standing together in the garden ( ? only together) 
0 you have captured my heart. 
You be the clove, I the cardamom ; 
0 Rai Mamolu, 
We will be sold in the druggists’ shop, 
O you have captured my heart. 
Notes. 
The point of this song lies in the antithesis of the masculine and 
feminine terms used by the girl to herself and her lover. This is 
very finely worked out ; thus, ghora is masc. and pctVki , fern. : sisa, 
masc., and dr'si fern.: champa, masc. and maVti, fern. : long, masc, and 
ildyachi, fern. 
pai = pari, fell: common Panj. form. See song Nos. 26, 47. 
tar-tikh’ni, very hot, burning ; used of spices. It probably means 
fresh and hot; tar, fresh, + iiktina, Panj., hot, pungent. Cf Panj. and 
Hind, tiklia. Here it is applied to sunshine (dhup).
