00:00What is the name of the book and how is it unique?
00:04The name of this book is Patang Purana.
00:07Like all other Puranas, this is Patang's Purana.
00:11And Puranas are there because the whole story is in Patang's Kewa.
00:17And it is written by our Surat's Hiralal Rasikdas Kapadia.
00:22He was a Jain.
00:24He has written many books.
00:26He is also known as a writer.
00:28And I got this book from an antique dealer in Surat.
00:32It is not available today.
00:35But I have received many books from him.
00:39How long ago did you get this book?
00:42Is there anything interesting in this book?
00:44This book came to me about 10 years ago.
00:48And in this book, we have come to know about Patang from A to Z.
00:56We have come to know about Patang from A to Z.
01:01First of all, when we choose a kite,
01:05how do we choose the kite to fly?
01:09After that, how much space should there be between the wings of the kite?
01:18That is what we have come to know.
01:20Now, how should the kite be to fly a good kite?
01:25That is what we have come to know.
01:27After that, the space between the wings of the kite is called Dhaddo.
01:32So, how should that Dhaddo be?
01:34That is what we have come to know.
01:36If the Dhaddo breaks while flying the kite,
01:40then how to join the broken Dhaddo?
01:44And how to fly such a kite?
01:46That is what we have come to know.
01:48After that, how to go about flying a kite?
01:51That is what we have come to know.
01:53How to take off the kite after flying it?
01:55That is what we have come to know.
01:57How to take the patch from the top?
01:59That is what we have come to know.
02:00How to take it from the bottom?
02:01That is also what we have come to know.
02:02For flying a kite, what kind of kite should we fly?
02:09What should be the string?
02:11The fun part is how to put the langar on a kite.
02:16That is also described in this book.
02:18So, there are so many beautiful descriptions in this book.
02:23So, Hiralal, Rasikdas, Kapadia,
02:26we should salute them, our listeners.
02:30And this is such a beautiful book.
02:32You will get the descriptions of it later as well.
02:36What is the situation of the Jahir Raja in this book?
02:41In Uttar Pradesh, there was no Jahir Raja.
02:46So, Surat's younger brother, Haridas,
02:49who was a judge in the Mumbai High Court,
02:53on the 13th, he was coming to Surat from Mumbai,
02:57on the 4th, he was eating pork and lentils,
03:00and he was singing Patanjali.
03:02On the 4th, he was leaving from here at night.
03:05So, he realized that the Suratis
03:07do not get the permission to fly kites on the 4th.
03:10So, in the time of Victoria,
03:12he spent a lot of time
03:14and made the Suratis
03:16get the permission to fly kites on the 4th of January.
