Romaranjan: When Tamrodas was the king, he first came to Khaspur from Maibang in the year 1701. We have heard story saying this and also read in the books, we also heard that the king had two queens whom everyone knew, the first queen was Chandraprabha and the second queen was Komlavati (Komla rani), who was also called Waishrungdi in Dimasa language. There is a story told by our elders during the time of those two queens, we cannot tell whether it is true or not but now we will listen to that story. One day, Dimasa king had defeated Jaintiya king and married his daughter whose name was Komla and she was very beautiful. The king brought the queen Komla to his kingdom and the both the queens used to live together, but one day what happened don’t know the queen Komla said to the king that “we have been living here for a long time, let’s go for boating in Maridor river” because at that time the king used to go for boating, site seeing and hunting. Therefore the king felt it true and so he agreed to them and said “ If you wanted to go then we would go” but it was the plan of Komla queen that they will take the king there and make him their prisoner so that they could free their Jaintiya kingdom or attack over Dimasa kingdom. The queen took the king for roaming, the further they go it makes takes them more inside, so the king said “we have gone far ahead so we will not go further and let’s get return from here.” The queen replied “No, no let’s go little more, let’s go little more.” By saying this the queen took the king so inside far where the Jaintiya people surrounded the king from all sides. The king was in shocked but he used his intelligence and his people were behind him who were following him through out the journey, his people immediately sent the king’s army at that place who saved the king from them. The king and queens were unharmed, the king pretended to be normal at that time and returned to his capital with his queens. The king was a clever person, he started thinking how did this happen ? this was very wrong, so the king decided to keep his queen in a different far place which is known as Rani-path. We have seen the Rani-path place when were child, it used to be a Dimasa village before. That place is still known as Rani-path but it is no longer inhabited by Dimasa people, the queen was kept in Rani-path and we have also seen that place. At present there is one house in our village who are from Rani-path, earlier there was one more house but all the members of that house is dead. Now, the place Rani-path is mainly inhabited by the Bengali people and there is no Dimasa who live there now and also most of the land has swept away by the Mathura river. So, this is the story which we have heard from the elderly people.
