  Pipa Greets The Songs of Saint Pipa Translated from Old Rajasthani by RUPALI SAINI Rao Pipa, popularly known as Saint Pipa today, was the king of Gagrongarh, Jhalawar district in Rajasthan. Emerging from a royal background, renounced all luxeries to become an ascetic.

Listening to this bitter truth His eye shed a drop of tear Which I held on my palm And consumed it It so happened that entire scenario changed The rain that rained from my eyes Rained continuously Rivers flooded Dams overflowed Houses collapsed Human-beings swayed in water Lightning striking times again Horrible hurricane  Birds, beasts and human-beings Died carried in terrific sway of water Corpses and corpses all-around Agonized My eyes continually shed  tears God and myself started drowning!
