Burial Rites of the Gonds. 211 Anyhow it is a very bad spirit and once you are in disgrace with this one you are likely to become a pauper. This spirit affects the fertility of the seeds and also of the cattle. It finishes everything and everyone in the house. Muchit-darwala is again supposed to be a single male. The pair is called Dauki-Dauka. I am not sure whether these three names are for the same spirit. This Dauki-Dauka causes sterility and does not allow offspring to those who have fallen out with it. It is also believed that if someone has no issue, that he has learned the art of gunia from somebody else, who has no issue. Agya sur dano and Bhasma sur dano are also taken together. This is a much dreaded spirit because it cuts off life before it matures. Be this life of men, beast or plant. In order to appease these spirits some offerings have to be made. No need to mention incense and cocoanuts. Even the way of offering I shall not mention as it is practically the same for all offerings and has been related else where. The following list gives an idea as to how these spirits can be appeased : For Bara Deva For Dulha Deva For Niva Deva For Ratwala For Suraj Naragan For Holy Ray For Poitar Poi For Mata For Thakur Deva For Hardolala For Marathan For Kila-muta For Sath se jogni For Paniharan For Chikla mai For Mar ha deva For Marhi-Marha For Dauki-Dauka For Muchit-Dawala For Agya-sur Dano a spotted he-goat a red he-goat dal hhat 5 6 a female pigling or a black hen a pigling (male or female) a chicken (male or female, white, black or specked) dal hhat a black he-goat to be offered at the time of the Bidri if promised 5 chickens 1 harria 6 bread, fried in oil, 5 cocoanuts and male and female pig a white he-goat a red he-goat or pigling bread fried in oil bread fried in oil cocoanut and incense only a trisur 7 , a fowl (male or female) and bread fried in oil He really -wants the life of a human being, but the gunia promises any other life he wants instead. He wants much, any black she-animal a red, white or black cock or hen, or female goat or pigling. (But it is all in vain.) a black he-goat any kind of animal and bread fried in oil. As a rule the gunia does not give medicines. He is only there to find 5 Dal — a pulse made into a thick porridge or gruel; bhat — cooked rice, also cooked kodon or kutki. Dal-bhat — the ordinary name for food among some people. 6 Barria — a measure of 1 pound. 7 Trisul or trisur — trident.
