Chapter 33
  Gangora Budhwal Gramaramabh: Gondwara-Phulbadiya, Haveli-
Radheli, Lotan, Rudra, Rangai, Rameshwar, Shivdatt, Pitambar,
Dharanath, Khushi, Domai, Bhola, Rajendra, and the Aamdanda Close

  1. The Gangora-Budhwal opening under Gondwara-
Phulbadiya and Haveli-Radheli
    The chapter begins with the formal heading “ अथ गंगोरा बु धबु वाल
ग्रामारम्भः.” The source immediately places the register within a layered
geography: Gondwara country, Phulbadiya, Haveli country, and Radheli.
The first descent is compact: Lotan gives Rudra; Rudra gives Chhotai;
Chhotai gives Rangai. This opening records a small line, but the connected
places - Sodarpur, Belauch, Baheradhi, Khaual, Darhiara, Karmaha, and
Naraun - show that the family is integrated into the same broad Panji
marriage and settlement circuit as the surrounding chapters.
   Rangai is connected with Sodarpur and Haud, and his son Rameshwar is
tied to Belauch through Yadu, Kamalapati, and Baheradhi-Raghunath.
Rameshwar’s son Shivdatt then receives multiple links: Khaual through
Ramani’s grandson Hadi and Vishwanath, Sodarpur through Bahudi and
Vasudev, and Alay through Shyam. The brief phrasing therefore carries both
descent and alliance information.

   2. Shivdatt, Pitambar, Dharanath, and the Simarwad-Khaual
link
   From Shivdatt the line moves to Pitambar. Pitambar is linked with
Darhiara, Raghudev’s grandson Chaturbhuj, Pradyumn, Karmaha,
Lakshmipati, Devanand, and Naraun-Dhani. The source then records
Pitambar’s sons Bhikshuk, Dharanath, and Umanath. Through Simarwad-
Khaual, Yadupati’s grandson Ratnapati and Govardhan, and through
Takwal-Bahudi-Sudarshan, the register connects this Gangora-Budhwal
section to a recognizable set of prior Panji nodes.
   Dharanath’s son Khushi becomes the next operative node. Khushi is tied
to Sarisav-Sodarpur through Chilka and Nanhku, and to Simarwad-Khaual
through Nanu and Buddhinath. Khushi’s sons are Domai and Gangadhar.
Gangadhar is connected with Sarisav-Sodarpur, the grammarian Dular,
Jhapat, Ratauli-Darhiara, and Kirtinath. The branch is short, but it makes
visible the movement from village origin to learned and marriage-linked
continuation.

  3. Khushi’s daughters, Domai, Bhola, Rajendra, and the
Aamdanda close
   The daughter-lines are important in this chapter. Khushi’s daughter is
married into Rajanpura-Darhiara through Bhaiya and Chhotku, and also into
Jhauwa-Panichobh through Prannath. Another daughter-line records
Nunuday with Ogahi-Baliyas and Pathak Kamal Lochan’s son Mannu, with
daughters Yashoda and Devaki. Yashoda connects to Sandahpur-Didhoy and
Thakur Manmohan, while Devaki connects to Pokharia, Raiyam-Ghosiyam,
Tilakdatt, and Matuknath.
   Domai’s son Bhola is then linked with Sandahpur-Didhoy, Vaidyanath,
Srinath, Khandwala, and Vishnudatt. Bhola’s son Rajendra connects with
Ogahi-Baliyas through Shrimani and Lakshminath, and also with Rajanpura-
Darhiara through Chandramani. The chapter closes with a small Aamdanda-
associated entry: Bhola’s daughter-line is linked to Jamour-Sodarpur
through Kartik and Shashidhar, and to Kansam-Mandar through Hargyan
and Gonu.

    4. Main branches decoded in this chapter

    5. Chapter close and next threshold
    Chapter 33 is a compact village - start chapter. It closes after the
Aamdanda / Jamour - Sodarpur / Kansam - Mandar daughter - line attached
to Bhola. The next formal heading in the source is “ अथ बढ़ि याम पवौली
ग्रामारम्भः , ” which should begin Chapter 34.
