Translation (Gun Mai)
In the past, the Jinghpaw people had been fighting accross the Burma country and when they got Katha Land, as it was already getting dark and also to take rest, they slaughtered and ate nine buffaloes, which were similar to wild bison. They slaughtered and made Pasa. Pasa is a kind of dish that needs to chop the meat to mince and add sour things and salads. Have you eaten? After they made Pasa, they shared a little amount of Pasa with each person but it was almost insufficient. Since even nine buffaloes were almost insufficient, they thought that they should name the place. They discussed that "Let's name this place Pasa Land" and they named it. After they made and ate Pasa, they still remained the skins of the buffaloes. They made soup with the remaining skins of the buffaloes. There were also Shan men who fought in the war. It did not know where the Shan men came from but they met with the Jinghpaw men there. The Shan men came to fight with the Jinghpaw men. The Jinghpaw men talked to each other that "Brothers-in-law, there are many skins from even nine buffaloes that we slaughtered. Whatever happens, let's make soup with the skins and eat." And, they made soup until it became tender skin. Then, they cut and eat. The Jinghpaw men asked the Shan men to cut the skin with the Shan men's swords and also let them eat. After they ate, they danced and danced so they tired and slept. When they were in deep sleep, the Jinghpaw men kept alert. They kept alert to fight the Shan men. The Jinghpaw men said it was time to start and yelled that "Hey!! Wake up all and let's fight now. Let's fight now between the Jinghpaw and the Shan with the swords." The swords of the Shan men were stuck in the scabbard because they used when they cut the buffalo's skins. May be it was in the winter. While the Shan men's swords were stuck in the scabbard and before they could pull out, the Jinghpaw men killed all the Shan men and won the fighting. It is the end.
This story has ended. In the past, the people went to war and took a rest in a place where they slaughtered and ate nine cows. Since they made Pasa (a kind of dish that made with raw meat) and ate in the place, they discussed to name the place and they named Pasa Ga (Pasa Land). Gradually, after a long time, it became Katha Ga (Katha Land) now.
