Yairipok Thambalnu (Meitei: yāi-rī-pok tham-bāl-nū), originally known as Sanoujam Chanu Thambalnu[6] or simply as Thambalnu (Meitei: tham-bāl-nū), was a Meitei lady native to Yairipok region of Kangleipak (Meitei for 'Manipur'). She was a victim of intrigues and was forced to meet a tragic death in drowning in a flooding river.[7]

The tragedy of lady Yairipok Thambalnu is considered to be one of the most popular historical-legendary stories of Manipur.[8]

Name

In Meitei language, the word "Thambalnu" (Meitei: ꯊꯝꯕꯥꯜꯅꯨ, romanized: /tham-baal-noo/) literally means "Lotus girl".[9] Here, morphologically, "Thambal" (Meitei: ꯊꯝꯕꯥꯜ, romanized: /tham-baal/) is a Meitei term for lotus and "nu" (Meitei: ꯅꯨ, romanized: /noo/) is a feminine suffix frequently used in Meitei vocabularies.[10][11]

Background

Thambalnu was brought up by a poor widowed mother in Yairipok Poiroukhongjin (Meitei: ꯌꯥꯏꯔꯤꯄꯣꯛ ꯄꯣꯏꯔꯧꯈꯣꯡꯖꯤꯟ). She was known for her beauty and mild and decent characters. It's said that many people desired her to be the daughter-in-law of their families. She was friendly with every youth of the village. It happened that Mohon Singh (Meitei: ꯃꯣꯍꯣꯟ ꯁꯤꯡꯍ) from Yairipok Khunjao (Meitei: ꯌꯥꯏꯔꯤꯄꯣꯛ ꯈꯨꯟꯖꯥꯎ), a poor man, brought up by a widowed mother, like her, fell in love with her. The two eventually become lovers.[12] Coincidentally, Pranam Singh Selungba (Meitei: ꯄ꯭ꯔꯅꯥꯝ ꯁꯤꯡꯍ ꯁꯦꯂꯨꯡꯕ), a man of elite family, who was a royal court official in service to Manipur's ruler Gambhir Singh (Meitei: ꯒꯝꯚꯤꯔ ꯁꯤꯡꯍ) (1825-1833), was also in love with Thambalnu. The love affairs of the two was frequently disturbed by Pranam Singh. As a result, the discord and enmity between Pranam Singh and Mohon Singh grew more and more hostile as times passed. Everytime whenever a conflict occurred, Thambalnu always tried to bring concord.[13]

Sacrificial tragedy

It once happened that there was rupture of the eastern banks of the Imphal River (Meitei: ꯏꯝꯐꯥꯜ ꯇꯨꯔꯦꯜ, romanized: Imphal Turel) in the regions of Wangoi (Laluthem, Kyamgei near Leisangkhong). On this matter, King Gambhir Singh offered prayers to God Ibudhou Khana Chaoba (Meitei: ꯏꯕꯨꯙꯧ ꯈꯥꯅ ꯆꯥꯎꯕ), to show him a way to fix it. Through an oracle, the God suggested that a girl should be offered to Him. Lady Thambalnu willingly sacrifice herself for the bunding of the fissure by the Imphal River, so as to save the lives of everyone in the kingdom from the disastrous flood. Another main reason for her voluntary sacrifice was that she assumed that her death would rescue her lover Mohon Singh from the cruel acts of powerful Pranam Singh. Later on, the story of her sacrifice for the people of the kingdom of Manipur got immortalized.[14]

Regarding human sacrifice to the gods, in relation to the case of lady Yairipok Thambalnu, scholar Moirangthem Kirti Singh (Meitei: ꯃꯣꯏꯔꯥꯡꯊꯦꯝ ꯀꯤꯔꯇꯤ ꯁꯤꯡꯍ) noted:

“... The idea of altruism or voluntary sacrifice in order to ensure the welfare of the country was associated with the names of Pangan Langanubi (a Manipuri Muslim woman) and Yairipok Thambalnu. A human victim is sacrificed at the construction of a river bund, dams or bridge to the presiding deity so that the public might be free from the troubles. The bards or asheibas immortalized the names of these ladies by their tunes and beating of dholak in the assembly of the elderly ...”

— Folk Culture of Manipur (1993)[15]

Legacy

In Meitei tradition, elders, in their attempts to stop children from wandering away from their vision, used to make them afraid, by narrating the story of lady Thambalnu of Yairipok, about her being sacrificed and drowned to appease gods when the river embankments were ruptured. The elders even told their children that Thambalnu's soul stayed in a jackfruit tree.[16]
