MANBHATT or VYAS or GAGARIYOBHATT, as they are popularly known, used to be Brahmin priests of Southern Gujarat, narrating stories from the Puranas to the accompaniment of music played on copper-made water pitcher or pot having a narrow mouth and bloated mid-part, used for beats of rhythmic beating time as required.
According to the distinguished man of literature, the learned scholar Sri Krishnanal Jhaveri, at the time when the art of printing and printing process were not even developed, these story-tellers used to pick up stories from the Puranas (also the stories written by the newly emerging writers) and narrate them to the accompaniment of Man, before their audiences of near and far off places that they visited. Thereby, besides regaling their listeners, they used to bolster up their religious sentiments too.
The distinguishing quality or the ingenuity of these story-tellers or public-preachers was that they were superb singers and music composers besides being well-versed actors and performers having a marvelous sense of rhythm. Thanks to their extraordinary mastery over music and the art of performing. These well skilled story-tellers could make their audience laugh heartily or shed tears pathetically at will.
Nalakhyan, Mamerun etc. are the outstanding illustrations of the popular stories they used to narrate enchantingly and musically.
Today, unfortunately this extremely popular art of story-telling once is on the vane……is almost extinct.
