R. C. Temple— Some Hindu Folksongs from the Fanjdh [No. 3, 
25. 
Kotin ta n paniyaw gher’waft, bo, 
Jit pher’waw rakhaw diwar, piyare. 
Kit baraw, kit nikalara, bo muiye, 
Kityo nahm lag’da jiu, piyare. 
Kangra. 
The house I have built is large, my dear, 
In it I have built walls with doors all round, my love. 
Wherever I enter, wherever I go out; ah, my dear, 
Nowhere is any one for me to love, my love. 
Notes. 
tan = ta, Panj. = to, Hind, indeed. 
tan, panigan, gher'wan , pher'wdn , etc., observe the nasalization. Cf. 
song No. 5, etc. 
panigan ; kothi pana (or pauna), hill dialect, to build a house: cf. 
Panj. word pana and pauna, to place, put, throw. See song No. 23, etc. 
gher'ivan, pher'wan. Gher'wdn = ghera, gher’wa or gher’dar, in Panj. 
and Hind, lit , surrounding, enclosing, as applied to a dress means large, 
ample, full; in the hill dialect it is applied, as here, to a house or dwelling, 
to mean large, commodious. Fher'wan, lit., surrounding, hill dialect, is 
applied to a house whose doors open from room to room all round. Thus 
a European bungalow in India would be described by a Kangra hill-man 
as gher'wa, large and pher'wa, with doors to every room. The point here is 
that “ the house I have built is large and comfortable.” 
ho, my dear, see song No. 18. 
jit-kit, inflected pron. forms Panj. = jis-kis : it and ut = is and us 
are similar ones. 
ho muige, also muige ho and muige. In the hill dialect used by 
women as an exclamation, hi! come here! I say! oh you ! Also used 
sorrowfully, ah, my dear ! alas, my dear! The Ludiana Panj. Diet, gives 
the following curious explanation of this word: “ muige , 0 dead one! 
spoken to a woman chidingly.” 
kitgo = Panj. kiti, anywhere. 
jiu = ji, life, the heart. Cf. Panj. forms ghyo and gheu = ghi (see 
song No. 5) and kityo = kiti, above. Ji lag'net is an idiom, to be fond 
of, to be enamoured of, to love. 
26. 
Tere xnnrihnn dikhi kari 
Mam bbatoi gaya. 
Tu n ta n hast, bo, pai 
Maite riyoi gaya. 
Kangra.
