From Gondi Folklore
Phulmotin was the daughter of Raja Joda and Rani Kamolin of Sambalgarh. One day she found herself pregnant though she was unmarried. The Raja was very ashamed about this and would not let the girl out of the palace. He tried hard to get an abortion, but it was no use and at last the child was born. The Raja took him with placenta and cord to Pondrimatta and buried him alive. Some time afterwards there came from the child’s head eighty thousand earth-worms.
Aghori Guru was going along when he found himself surrounded by these worms and unable to move. He was very alarmed and did not know what to do. They said, “Give us a blessing and we’ll let you go.” The Guru said, “You are born of earth. Now live in the earth and the earth will be your food and drink. When you die you will live again. Now go through the world and till the soil for men.”
