When they came to the Marwar region, they saw a soun chidi, a long-tailed shrike in a Khejri tree on left side of the path. Tradition held that on seeing a shrike, on the left, the journey should stop. So, they made camp there for the night. At dawn, one of the brothers saw a sheep in the ker struggling to protect her new born lamb from a pack of three jackals. The family was so moved by the struggle of the sheep that they decided make that place their new settlement. Initially, the settlement was called Sugnawali after the soun chidi.
