Since Bake’s recording was a funeral song, and could not be danced, the women sang and danced others. One was a song to Basava, the milk cow of Lord Siva, one antiphonal “god song” had lyrics in the voice of a priest’s wife whose husband was unfaithful. The lyrics are addressed to an oil lamp which left the house because of the affair, and wandered through the forest. The lyrics are “Where are you my lamp?”
