Significado
Commanding someone to run quickly.
Contexto cultural
During the 'Ringan' ceremony of the Wari pilgrimage, running fast is a form of spiritual ecstasy. Pilgrims run around the sacred horse to show their devotion to Lord Vitthal. The 'Mumbai Local' culture is defined by speed. Shouting 'Jorat pala' is a common way to help fellow commuters catch a train that is just starting to move. Wrestlers (Pahlwans) in rural 'Talims' are often told to run fast as part of their rigorous 'Jor' (exercise) routine to build stamina. Speed is essential for the 'Govinda' teams to move from one location to another in the crowded streets of Mumbai during Janmashtami.
The 'Jor' Rule
You can use 'Jorat' for almost any action to mean 'intensely' or 'with force'. Jorat paus (heavy rain), Jorat kam (working hard).
The Retroflex L
If you pronounce 'Pala' with a normal 'L', it might sound like 'Pala' (leaves/foliage) in some dialects. Always use the retroflex ळ.
