Some
thousands of years back…
Somewhere
in the coastal plains, in the kingdom of MASAKA
A man named
Duaraba was born with a deformation, i.e. he had one leg, and the other leg was
very small. He used to walk with the help of a bamboo stick. Though born in a
fisherman’s family, he chose farming as his source of livelihood. But when he
had less work, he used to join his friends in deep sea fishing.
Duaraba was
very much interested to join the Masakan army but he could not join due to his
leg. His wish remained inside his heart…
One day he
went for fishing with his friends. He saw a girl giving pots filled with water
to the fishermen who were getting ready to go for fishing in the sea. He could
not take his eyes off because… the girl too had a deformation. She had the two
legs joined in such a manner that it looked like a fishtail.
One day,
Duaraba went near the girl and asked her name. The girl replied, Deiraba. They
started talking to each other when Duaraba used to come for fishing. And
finally they got married and had a son who had a d… They didn’t lose hope!
The King of
Masaka came to their village as part of the yearly visit of the Kingdom.
Duaraba
thought that he would tell about his wish (joining army) to the King. He went
to the King and told about his wish but the King denied as Duaraba had one leg
which did not make him eligible to join army. Duaraba started to convince the
King. So, the King told “Show me how fast you can run”. Duaraba started leaping
with one leg but fell down!
Coming to
Bhaaraba, son of Duaraba and Deiraba…
Bhaaraba
was also born with a deformation. But his deformation was completely different
from his father and mother. He two leg bones were joined but the leg-claw was
bigger is size which helped him to jump like an animal called Kangaroo. Deiraba
trained him to swim in the sea and Duaraba trained him to leap and run.
20 years
passed. King of Masaka had a visit to Duaraba’s village. The King was surprised
to see something… Bhaaraba leaping/running…with One Leg. The King immediately
called him and asked who he was. Bhaaraba replied “I am Bhaaraba, the son of
Duaraba and Deiraba”.
Duaraba
requested the King to allow Bhaaraba to join the army. The King told that there
would be annual festival and if Bhaaraba come first in the race then there
would be a chance.
Time for
the annual festival.
Bhaaraba on
the field…
Duaraba and
Deiraba were watching anxiously.
There was
conch sound and it was played by the princess Masaka, Bhubadebi.
Bhaaraba
started running so fast the his competitors were far behind in the race and
Bhaaraba came first in the race. The King became very happy and appointed
Bhaaraba in the army. And the time came when Bhaaraba became the army chief.
The King then arranged the marriage of the princess Bhubadebi with Bhaaraba.
Both
Bhaaraba and Bhubadebi lead from the front in the wars against rival nations
and secured the Kingdom of Masaka
If we think
about Duaraba/Deiraba/Bhaaraba, the deformation in the body was not actually a
“Deform” but it was “DForm [The Form]”.
