Now Animesh and others came here to meet me to collect some data on Dimasa songs related to Goddess Ranachandi, so I will sing one or two songs on Goddess Ranachandi.

Animesh: tikala Ranachandi Mama ni rajapthai Dimasa graojang thaisi thaigni tipukala hamnang mu

Debu: Tikala tipalangma na repkulangma nishi? na ang bathai thipalangma?

Animesh: ning bathai khe ti
