Description / content note: There was once a man, a hunter called Kundandali who had a wife who tried to stop him leaving the house, saying, "Do not go, you have gunpowder and your gun on your shoulder." But the man was always going away and she always tried to stop him by begging him to put down his gun and his gunpowder and stay at home. The transcription of the vernacular words as written by the singers in both cases is rather uncertain and open to correction. Story song.
