The story of Jeona Maurh (Jeona Morh | ਜਿਉਣਾ ਮੌੜ) remains etched in the minds of Panjabis across borders. He started off as a simple and religious young man whose deeds of crime and social banditry are recorded and recounted in folklore -festivals, folk tales, and folk songs - of Panjab. The name of Jeona Maurh remains synonymous with revenge and honour. The ballads of his exploits and his final undoing when he goes to pay obeisance to Mata Naina Devi have been sung by many eminent Punjabi singers.

Pooran was born to Queen Ichhira, the first wife of king Raja Sálván. Upon the suggestion of the astrologers, Pooran was sent away from the King for the first 12 years of his life. It was said that King could not see the face of his son. While Pooran was away, the King married a young girl named Loona, who came from a low caste family. After 12 years of isolation, Pooran returned to the royal palace. There, Loona became romantically attracted toward the youthful Pooran. Loona being his step-mother, Pooran disapproved of her advances. A hurt Loona accused Puran of violating her honor.

Pooran was ordered to be amputated and killed. The soldiers cut off his hands and legs and threw him in a well in the forest. One day Guru Gorakhnath were passing by with his followers and heard sounds from the well. He took him out using a single thread and unbaked earthen pot. He was later adopted by Baba Gorkhnath. Pooran himself became a jogi.

(Source: Wikipedia).

This is a narration of the commonly re-told story of Prince turned Ascetic Pooran, who was also known as Bhagat Pooran.
