- Abstract
Annotation of the recording of a performance by the hudke bard Camalek Bahadur Dholi, aged ~54, and two assistants. This is the first of 4 epics recorded on 4 November 1969 at the administrative center of Dandeldhura District, Nepal, by Marc Gaborieau and Mireille Helffer of the French National Center for Scientific Research (CNRS). The recording was transcribed in the field by Man Bahadur Kathayat of Dandeldhura in a notebook of Gaborieau's marked "Hudkiya", on pages 5 (invocation), and 7-21 ("Bhime Kathayat", the Kumauni title of the epic). Prof Jaya Raj Pant reviewed the transcription and prepared a translation into standard Nepali and further notes in 2007. The transcription was again revised by Mr Man Bahadur Shahu in 2009. The English and French translations, based on these annotations and Gaborieau's notes, were prepared by Boyd Michailovsky in 2008-2010.
