According to the traditional Santal birth story, Marangburu then teaches Pilchu Haram and Pilchu Buri to make intoxicants and then suggests a puja ceremony. Marangburu ordered to take that intoxicant in certain quantities. One morning Pilchu Buri and Pilchu Haram drink an excessive amount of a local alcohol called ‘Haria’ and become intoxicated, defying Marangburu’s prohibition which leads to an argument. In a fit of rage, pilchu Haram left the old woman with their seven sons and eight daughters. Pilchu Buri helplessly asked Shiva for advice.
