He came to temple and saw that the babies were having their first bath in temple This fascinates him about Boranese Culture.He goes to pray first to the Spirit then he meets the abbot sitting at the temple.
He asked the holy one,"Why is Champajanuwad a thing ,Why they put Champa flower in the holy water for first bath of babies.
The monk saw him in his face and then he tells the reason.
This starts from the Early 1500s when the disciples of Dera were walking .He saw that a child was crying so much because the child was having a fever.The child was a Borani during old times Boranese were considered as natives but of low class.
The Disciple of Dera no sooner remembered the Verse
Syangkaro Syaangkaro Jatbhedhaallinoe
Yang Kalparaiti Lokamjaga))
Sgyaskornam wa Champa noe Angkul vae Angol Jae Sukhami Baloch mya bhumi pandito))
Sangkamikhan:15-3
Everyone hates the guts of low class and class discrimination of this evil world .Water with Champa will ease of the disease and the child will be intelligent.
Then they have him Champa and Water but the body was wetted by Coconut Coir and Mango leaves .Which no sooner treated the child then the Disciples told that Dera wishes this community to follow this tradition so the Child will be pure by spirits and the Spirit lord will protect him.
Since then from generation to generation this tradition is followed down.
