The Baghani clan of Majhwars, named after the tiger, think that a tiger will not attack any member of their clan unless he has committed an offence entailing temporary excommunication from caste.

Until this offence has been expiated his relationship with the tiger as head of the clan is in abeyance, and the tiger will eat him as he would any other stranger.

If a tiger meets a member of the clan who is free from sin, he will run away.

Members of the Khoba or peg clan will not make a peg nor drive one into the ground.

Those of the Dumar or fig-tree clan say that their first ancestor was born under this tree.
