Local Folklore
In local folklore, it is also believed that anyone who can decipher the writing of all the languages inscribed there will get wealth (gold and silver kept in big bronze utensils (गंगार) having the wealth which would suffice two and half days financial transactions of the whole world) which has been submerged in Damau Dehra. The king of Sakti, Raja Bahadur Leeladhar Singh father of Raja Surender Bahadur Singh once brought Pandits from Kashi and tried that the writings be deciphered. However, the Pandits could not succeed and the king in anger fired a gunshot on the writing which damaged some of the writing areas. However, now the government has put a tin shed above the writing of the rocks to preserve the writings.
This is a story of Mama-Bhanja (maternal uncle with his nephew) where the Bhanja is blessed in a manner that a small field gifted by Mama to Bhanja gets very fertile and brings forth gold harvest.
