Essence
The
Jija-Sali relationship; the relationship between
a man and his wife's sister is shown as a special
one in many folk songs. In this song the woman
asks her brother-in-law to help her cross the
Rameshwar river saying that she would cross
the Jhulaghat river herself. Using references
of towns and rivers of the region - it establishes
the close bond that exists between the Jija
and Saali.
