 In Garhwali there are tens of folk songs related to rapture of affection for children from parents. The following song is marvelous example of rapture of pathos and rapture of affection for progeny.   

 In this ong, the son is buried in bank of rivulet and his mother is remembering her dead son.

गढ़वाली लोक नाटकों में वात्सल्य  रस

जैं रौली सियों च लाडो म्यारो ,

वीं रौली जौंलो कि न ?

भूख लगीं होली दूदी मांगलो,

कळेजा कु कत्तर रूणू ह्वालो

खुद मा मेरी टपराणु ह्वालो

कुयेड़ी माँ होलो बाटो बिरड़णु

बिन ब्वेको म्यारो होलो रूणू। 

 (गीत संकलन: डा शिवा नंद नौटियाल, श्याम गढ़वाली लोक गीत) 

 Translation

My beloved son is sleeping in rivulet (buried after death)

Should I visit that rivulet or not to visit that rivulet?

My son would by crying due to hunger

He would be searching mother for milk

My part of heart (dad son) would not find his mother and he would be crying alone

He would be searching mother here and there

Now, the valley is covered by cloud

He would have lost the pat in cloudy valley

My son the motherless (dead son ) will be weeping without mother
