[Assam] A Question

[kamal deka]

Chandanda,

your query in regard to the Oxomiya book " Mati aru Manuh " reminds me of a
Oxomiya kobita , I read during my early school years.I don't know the name
of the poet nor do I remember all the stanzas of the same.I vaguely remember
a few lines , which are as follows:
" MATIR MANUH MATIT MILIBO
DHUN PES KEO KORISE LAGIBO
MISA GORBO MISA OBHIMAN
MORILEY XOKOLU XOMAN
SMOXANEI JOLONTO PROMAN"

KJD
