==Origin==

There was a Deshastha Brahman who had in a dream 
seen a store of wealth. When he awoke he actually went to the 
place he had seen in his dream and dug out the earth, but, to his great 
surprise, found there nothing but coal. The coal he had thus secured 
was kept in an open place for sale. A certain Mahar girl, while 
passing that way, noticed this and whispered into her mother's ear 
that the coal was nothing but go!(5. The man overheard her con- 
Versalion, called the girl's mother to him and asked her to give the 
girl to him for Rs. 200 or so. Thus the girl was purchased and 
kept by him in his shop. Every piece of coal she touched was 
changed into gold, which was afterwards disposed of by him, and by 
this means the man made a great fortune. The girl was beautiful 
and the man fell in love with her.
