Asagadā
70
Asagadā (Asakatā) Nick-name of a beautiful Abhira village-girl. Once she was driving her bullock-cart. Some young boys got bewildered by her beauty. They also tried to drive their own carts parallelly near her cart. The rivalry caused such a fierce stampade that the carts of all the boys were broken. They all became cartless (asagada). Since the girl served as the cause of their becoming cartless, she was called Asagadā.
