Thanks for pointing those errors. These songs are quite popular in N.India. They are sung in several local dialects, and are available on casettes. The last I heard was one in Baghel-kahndi. (a dialect of MP). And these songs are not that static. In fact, the Uma (Paarvatee) is told to marry a guy who has Maruti, and she rather opts for the one who goes around on Nandi (name of the bull of Shiva). She is told to marry a man, who wears Vimal suitings, and she prefers the One who sports ash (worn by Shiva). ... and so on and so forth. The underlying message being: That no matter what others may have, I am ONE with Shiva. While it has its philosophical imports, the msg. to the person involved with his/her daily activities, is that marriage requires an absolute devotion, and that too from both sides: The husband as well as the wife.
