Please,
Don’t spoil them
be bothered for them,
They are our
Great care taker –
‘Randak’!

Don’t break it
They will be heart,
Don’t through it
They will be suffer,

Don’t spit on them
They will be infected,
Don’t displace it
They will become homeless,

Take care for them,
Give them a shelter in earthen ***
Give them rice and
They will shield you!
*‘Randak’* is a Tripuri word. Tripuri is tribal community, inhabited in Tripura state of India. Randak are considered as the god of protection and growth. Randak is symbolically represented through Stone. Usually earthen pots are filled with rice and stones are put over there and place it over a bamboo platform in their houses and offer prayer. It is considered that *Randak* will protect the family.
Similar believes and practices of *Randak* (including its symbolic representation through stones)  are also their among the Jamatia and Reang tribe of Tripura.
