The Nūngpān Ponpī Lūwāopa (Meitei: ꯅꯨꯡꯄꯥꯟ ꯄꯣꯟꯄꯤ ꯂꯨꯋꯥꯎꯄ) is an ancient Meitei language narrative text (puya), about the legendary story of the eponymous prince of the Luwang, who got back successfully the life of his wife Koubaron Namoinu, from the hands of her former consort Thongalen, the God of death and the ruler of the underworld.[1][2][3] It is an old story of near tragic end.[4][5] In the legend, there are fights between a mortal and the gods.[6] It mentions about the dowry system (Meitei: Awonpot) of the then ancient times.[7] It is, in a sense, the reverse of the Chothe Thangwai Pakhangba.
