India. In the Upper Duâb the legend of Gûgâ
is that he was a Chauhân Rajput, and was going
somewhere on horseback, when he sunk into a
pile of mud and cow-dung. He appears to
people in their dreams as a big snake (sâùp) or a
small snake (sapoliyâ), and bites them as they
wake. Offerings of sweetmeats propitiate him.
“His grave is near Dadrewa in Bikaner. He
flourished about the middle of the 12th century.
He is really a Hindu and his name is Gûgâ
Sir or ‘Gûgâ the Hero.’ But Musalmâns
also flock to his shrine, and his name has been
altered to Gûgâ Pîr or “Saint Gûgâ,” while
he has himself become a Muhammadan in
the opinion of the people. His conversion is
thus accounted for: He killed his two nephews
and was condemned by their mother to follow
them below. He attempted to do so, hut the
earth objected that he being a Hindû she was
quite unable to receive him till he should
he properly burnt. As he was anxious to re-
visit his wife nightly, this did not suit him,
and so he became a Musalmân ; and her scruples
being thus removed, the earth opened and
swallowed him and his horse alive. He is to
the Hindûs of the west districts the greatest of
the snake kings, having been found in the cra-
dle sucking a live cobra’s head, and his chhari,
or switch, consisting of a long bamboo surmount-
ed by peacock’s feathers, a cocoa-nut, some fans,
and a blue flag, may be seen at some times of
the year, as the Jogis or sweepers who have
charge of it take it round and ask for alms.
