Abstract
Saurashtra is a peninsula in western central India. (Long 68e-73e, Lat 20n-24n). Geer forest, in the southern part of Saurashtra, is the home of the Asiatic lion. Charan is a community of bards and minstrels claiming to have originated from the Mother Goddess of the Universe, that is, the divine manifestation of the vital force behind all creation. The Charans are supposed to be blessed by the Muse. Dingal is a phonetic devise of their poetry that includes many metric systems such as chhand and duhā in which they compose odes, elegies, and legends. The text for this essay is an abbreviated compilation of various writings and speeches that were translated from Gujarati by Vinod Meghani. The translated passages of Charani lore introduce chhands and duhās that convey the pathos of separated lovers.
