‘Shaphang Uwei U Blei’ ha u snem 1900. U la thoh kumne:
“Ka niam ka dei ba ngin pyrkhat, ngin shakri, ngin ieid para jingthaw bad ïala U Nongthaw, bad ba ngin duwai rit ruh ïa U Blei naduh mynsiem, kata ka dei ka kam Tynrai, bad ka Niam ba shisha, bad ka Hok jong ngi.

U Rangbah Sib Charan Roy Jaid Dkhar, u ong kumne ha ka kot bala pynmih ha u snem 1919, Ka Niam Ki Khasi:
“Namar ba U Blei U long uba dap lut shisha, ka jrong ka tbian. U don hapoh bad halor ki met jong ngi ruh. Na kata ka daw ngi ki Khasi ngi ju duwai ïa U Blei hala poh mynsiem ruh, wat haba ïaid ba ïeng, bad na kane ka daw ngi tip ba, “U Blei U don hi hapoh jong ngi, bad ba ngi, don ha U”.

Rangbah Prabhat D Sawyan: Grown up in Khasi traditions in his ancestral home at Umsohsun built by his great grandfather U Jeebon Roy in the late 1800s, he has a profound knowledge of the Khasi traditions
The greater Khasi Pnar people who jointly are called U Hynñiewtrep, believe firmly that as humans we descended from the celestial abode called Ka Sorkep, the realm of the Divine through a Golden Bridge of Sacred Vines encircling a Giant Tree a combination of which is called “Tangnub Tangjri”, straddling the Heavens and the Earth, atop the most sacred hill, U Lum Sohpetbneng or Navel of the Heavens.
“Way of Life and Worship” which has three fundamental tenets sometimes referred as Ki Lai Mawbyrsiew or Three Hearth Stones. First is the state of Being, “Tip Briew Tip Blei” , followed by social governance and practice of “Tip Kur Tip Kha” or Knowledge of the lineage with social interactions and finally “Kamai ïa ka Hok” or “Pursuit of Truth” a raison detre or life’s pursuit. Author attempts to open the door to the Universe of this limitless and precious, philosophical treasure, of “Tip Briew Tip Blei” in a few words for all to ponder and ruminate.
