== Tragedy {{anchor|Animal attack|Attack|Conspiracy|Death|Fate|Kill|Legend|Luck|Misfortune|Omen|Story|Torture}} ==&lt;br /&gt;
Once the king of [[ancient Moirang]] announced that no one should go out of their respective houses when the sun set off, because a wild [[Khoirentak tiger|tiger from Khoirentak]] was roaming around freely, among the reeds of the shores of the [[Loktak lake]] ({{lang-mni|{{Script|Mtei|ꯂꯣꯛꯇꯥꯛ ꯄꯥꯠ}}|{{Script|Latn|/lok-taak paat/}}|}}).&lt;br /&gt;
Upon hearing such news, Kumcha Lempi&amp;#039;s stepmother, who was searching for every possible opportunity to get rid of her poor stepdaughter, intentionally and forcibly sent Kumcha Lempi, in the evening time, to the shore of the [[Loktak lake]], telling her to collect basketful herbs (&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;quot;yellang keng-ngoi&amp;quot;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;) for that very day&amp;#039;s dinner, and not to come back to home if she didn&amp;#039;t bring what is said to her to be brought.&lt;br /&gt;
While collecting herbs to be basketful, it was getting late. On her way, she was spotted by the so called [[Khoirentak tiger]] and ended up being devoured by the hungry beast.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:Chingmee_Tamee&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{Cite book |last=Akoijam |first=I.S. |url=https://archive.org/details/in.ernet.dli.2015.466628/page/n31/mode/2up?view=theater |title=Manipurgee Chingmee Tamee |publisher=Manipur Sahitya Samiti, [[Thoubal]], Manipur; [[Digital Library of India]] |others=[[Manipur University]] Library, [[Imphal]] |year=2004 |location=India |pages=32-34 |language=mni}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:Kumcha_3&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{Cite book |last=Singh |first=Tomcha Wahengbam |url=https://archive.org/details/in.ernet.dli.2015.465556/page/n117/mode/2up?view=theater |title=Kunjamala |publisher=Sanasam Ingotombi Singh, Imphal; [[Digital Library of India]] |others=[[Manipur University]] Library, [[Imphal]] |year=2014 |location=India |pages=118-129 |language=mni |chapter=Ahumshuba Pandup (Kumcha Lempi)}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:Anouba_Yenning_Kumcha&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{Cite book |last=Singh |first=Kokngang |url=https://archive.org/details/in.ernet.dli.2015.465721/page/n5/mode/2up?view=theater |title=Anouba Yenning |publisher=Ibemcha Home Library, Kongpal, Imphal; [[Digital Library of India]] |others=[[Manipur University]] Library, [[Imphal]] |year=1970 |location=India |pages=6-12 |language=mni}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:Apunba_Saklon&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{Cite book |last=Singh |first=Kokngang |url=https://archive.org/details/in.ernet.dli.2015.465685/page/n5/mode/2up?view=theater |title=Apunba Saklon |publisher=Kongbantabam Bidyalaxmi Devi; [[Digital Library of India]] |others=[[Manipur University]] Library, [[Imphal]] |year=2008 |location=India |pages=6-12 |language=mni}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
When the remains of her corpse was discovered by the royal officials, the news reached the ears of the King of [[Moirang]], who ordered [[Khuman Khamba]] ({{lang-mni|{{Script|Mtei|ꯈꯨꯃꯟ ꯈꯝꯕ}}|}}) and [[Nongban]] ({{lang-mni|{{Script|Mtei|ꯅꯣꯡꯕꯥꯟ}}|}}), to capture the lurking beast, as a [[Trial by ordeal|divine ordeal]] of the two men&amp;#039;s conflict of getting hand in marriage to [[Thoibi]] ({{lang-mni|{{Script|Mtei|ꯊꯣꯏꯕꯤ}}|}}), the only princess of the kingdom.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:Kumcha_3&amp;quot; /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite book |last=Hodson |first=T.

Her Kabui friend later turned into a flower named &amp;quot;Chingthrao&amp;quot; ({{lang-mni|{{Script|Mtei|ꯆꯤꯡꯊ꯭ꯔꯥꯎ}}|}}) blessed by God [[Thangching]] ([[Thangjing]]). Kumja Lembi immortalized her friend&amp;#039;s name as &amp;quot;Ching-thrao&amp;quot;, which is made of the words, {{langnf|mni|‘Ching’|‘Hills’}}, {{langnf|mni|‘Tharo’|‘Lily’}} and {{langnf|mni|‘Paitha’|‘Flying Downward’}}.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web |last=Anita |first=Aheibam |date=2021-03-06 |title=The Enchanting Folk Tale of a Lonely and Forlorn Kabui Village Girl Who Became the Beautiful Wild Blossom Chingthrao » Imphal Review of Arts and Politics |url=https://imphalreviews.in/the-enchanting-folk-tale-of-a-lonely-and-forlorn-kabui-village-girl-who-became-the-beautiful-wild-blossom-chingthrao/ |access-date=2023-08-05 |website=imphalreviews.in |language=en-GB}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

The lass of Kabui Tribe&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Guardianed by the woman who bore her not&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 The morning-cooked rice, cold and old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Would be for her the night meal&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The old food of the day gone&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It’d be packed and bound for her day-meal&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Well before the day breaks&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When the village folks are fast asleep&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Out in the forest was she sent to gather fire-woods&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The lass of Kabui Tribe&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Who before day-break&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Brought home fire-woods&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Well ere the sweat-beads on her fair face did dry&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Was she told to do the pounding of all the rice&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ho … she was told (3)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Well ere the weariness and the anguish ends the mother who bore her not&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tasked the lass to slash at the Jhum field&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Eating the life-giving food&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Iron spade in her hands&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The lass of Kabui Tribe&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Knowing no rest&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Out set she for the Zhum field&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The lass of Kabui Tribe&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Burning herself through the sufferings&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The flower like maiden who could no longer bear&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The iron spade slipped away from her hands&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Skyward she raised her gaze at the moon&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Calling aloud to her mother&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She wailed in utter distress&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The ill-fated lass&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Then turning herself towards Kege&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Prayed to the Lord&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Crying her heart out.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Agonized by the days unbearable&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To the Lord&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Haa … Thangjing of Moirang&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The kind-hearted master that you are!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The tall trees could bear&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The frost of the winter&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Could bother it not&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Whilst the Early Monsoon makes up the fate of the floral lives that season&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And the Later Monsoons hands out the fate of the floral lives that season&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Said the mighty trees not a word of weariness&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Resilient and bearing&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Make me one among them Lord&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kindly do oblige, saying these words&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Wailing aloud she said&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Beloved native land of hers&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The fields of Kege-Moirang&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The fields of Thambal-Nongsha slopes&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Nonghu meadows beheld&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Fibun Ngaroi Hills&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The place where Sareng Hill ends.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Thangjing Highlands&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Upward on the mountain she climbed&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Woefully the ill-fated maiden&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With prayers to Lord Thangjing in her heart&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The agony she had been bearing.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Downward she jumped unto the rocks&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That the maiden flew down, the place&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Was hence named Paitha meadows&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In vain could she not perish&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hence reincarnated the lass as a Flower on the trees&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And when winter cold ends&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The buds do spring&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The one blossom on the trees too appeared&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Oh! Ye beloved Flower&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At North Koubru where the&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The village of Hemban Lalum Khun&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Peak Hurei Nganbi         &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 There seated aloft the boulders unsmooth these blossoms&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Of different tongue spoken&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Of different village lived&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Chief of Khongjai Tribe&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tollongkhomba was his name&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Axe in hand Cut and bound trees&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Gathering Firewood&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the bundle … the flowers … the wood was bounded too&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Looking at the Trunk&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She seems a tree mighty and told&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Looking at the petals&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She resembles the cattle’s footprints&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Looking at the bud&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She looks like maiden’s finger&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And when she fully blooms&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She becomes the intricate silver flower bunch worn at beauty’s ears&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Seeing the flowers in full bloom&lt;br /&gt;

The prosperous of Moirang&lt;br /&gt;

The fair maiden Kunjalembi&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Ventured the tiresome climb and dearly did pluck&lt;br /&gt;

 &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Beloved companion&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Holding you in my hands&lt;br /&gt;

When I wait for words from my suitor&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You be for me the one to stand with&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Amid the wooden bridge stood she&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Fair maiden Kunjalembi&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Flower in hand&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In wait of her suitor Pungnao Taba&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Beloved flower did accompany her&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Haada flower beloved friend of mine&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The village fathers did say&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Of a highland lass&lt;br /&gt;

Become you are.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Lovely flower unnamed&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Afront the mountain waterfalls&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Blown ajar by the wind&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Fear that you might lose your way&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This day, I Kunjalembi&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Oh beloved friend – reincarnated by a lass of the hills&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Deriving a little from ‘Ching’&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I give to you my dear&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Your name ‘Loibi Chingthrao’.&lt;br /&gt;
