Pipar City is a town and a municipality in Jodhpur district in the Indian state of Rajasthan.
Pipa was in the habit of carrying milk to deity of the serpent race ( the Takshakas or Nagas ) whose retreat was on the banks of a lake, and who deposited two pieces of gold in return for the Paliwal's offering.
Being compelled to go to Nagaur, the latter instructed his son to perform his charitable office, but the youth thought of becoming the master of the treasure himself and when the serpent issued forth for its accumstomed fare, he struck it violently with a stick.
The young Brahmin narrated the event to his mother who dreading the vengeance of the deity arranged to send him away the next day to his father.
But he continued his libations of milk which at length appeased the monster who showed him where the gold was stored and commanded him to raise a monument which would transmit a knowledge of the event to future ages.
The local historical tale has it that "Shri Dadosa baoji", who used to rule the area, sacrificed his life in a battle with enemies.
