Adao: gaay-bhains ka ghaas wala maidan

Adao, yani charaai ke liye rakhi gayi zameen, Marwari mein bahut seedha aur kaam ka lafz hai. Gaon ke kinare jo khula maidan gaay-bhains, bakri ya bichhde pashuon ke kaam aata hai, use Adao bol dete hain. Ismein na kheti ka dabav hota hai, na ghar ka shor — bas mitti, ghaas aur pashuon ki chaal. Usage bhi seedha: “Aaj pashu Adao mein chhod aao.” Jaipur aur aas-paas ke gaonon mein aise lafz roz ki zindagi se jude hote hain. Adao sirf zameen nahi, ek purani gaon-yaad bhi hai — jahan sab kuch dheere hota tha, aur kaam apne waqt par hota tha.
