Description
A possibly fabulous cave is staged in the legend of Tepagalu (son of Apapeck and his wife Janmu) and the mythical bird Jatung Tung Karmu as told by Verrier Elwin (note 1) after an unacknowled Sherdukpen story teller from Rupa (note 2): …Tepagalu went to the forest. As he pushed his way through the trees, he came to a great cave in the side of a hill. There were streams of water flowing both sides of the cave leaving a dry path in the middle. The boy went into the cave and, though it was very dark, made his way deep into the ground. After he had gone a long way, he found an enormous bird called Jatung Tung Karmu sitting on three great eggs (ELWIN, V 1958 / 1999: 429-430). CAVE LIFE: A fabulous species of Jatung Tung Karmu bird (aves) sitting on three great eggs (ELWIN, V 1958 / 1999: 429-430).A possibly fabulous cave is staged in the legend of Tepagalu (son of Apapeck and his wife Janmu) and the mythical bird Jatung Tung Karmu as told by Verrier Elwin (note 1) after an unacknowled Sherdukpen story teller from Rupa (note 2): …Tepagalu went to the forest.
