YUDVAI GATSIHE KOTHAIR WAN
TATI TAS TSALAHAN MONSHI HEND KAN
MOKAN RAJA HAS THE EARS OF A BUFFALO
WOULD THAT HE WOULD GO TO KOTHAIR FOREST
THERE HE WOULD BECOME FREE FROM BUFFALO'S EARS
It is said that one raja matsakund of the deccan had the ears of a
buffalo.No one knew it, expect the royal barber. When the barber died,
his son entered the palace to shave the hair of the Raja, who admonished
the new barber not to expose the ears of the Raja to the public. He
restrained it for some time. When he no longer could suppress his
thoughts,he went to a forest and shouted at the top of his voice, the
above couplet and ran away. The Raja searched for KOTHAIR WAN and he got
rid of buffalo's ears by bathing in the spring
The Spring is known As KOTHAIR NAG OR PAPASHUDAN NAAG.The KOTHAIR NAG is a circular spring .Its radius is about 5 yards. It is covered with pond weeds.We saw a clear blue line from one side to another. It appears fairly deep. The edge of the kond (spring) is walled with stones. It seems that there are steps of stones round it. The water of the spring flows from the north. There is small place for bathing, from where the water flows down, just one the edge of this side, there is a baderpeth without any lingam. Close to the baderpeth (pedestal) is an image of a bull (Nandikeshwar) in a siting posture. The head of this image is damaged.There are some stones rubbed with sindhur (red lead) There are 3 old ELM trees. At annual fair people brought diseased persons to be cleansed. Hence The name name of the spring is Papashudan Nag ( Sin Cleansing Spring)
