Abbaga Daraga paddana1_Track02
Description Sonne, daughter of Siri, and her husband Ginde or Gurumarla pray to the deity Bermeru, asking the god to grant them children. Sonne then gives birth to twin girls, Abbaga and Daraga. Caught up in the joys of family life, the couple neglects their vow to Bermeru. Bermeru appears to Sonne and Gurumarla disguised as a fortune-teller to tell them that they will suffer greatly if they continued to neglect the god. All that the god had given them would be taken back. Gurumarla, angered by the fortune-teller, tells him to leave. When the parents are out one day, Abbaga and Daraga are playing chenne – a traditional board game. They have a quarrel over the game, and Abbaga hits Daraga over the head, killing her. Overcome with sorrow at her deed, Daraga jumps into a well and dies. Another version says that after Abbaga dies, the two sisters become spirits in the other world. This story owes part of its popularity to its featuring of three generations of Siri.
