Damodar of Chiniot was a fabled poet of Punjabi, having many distinctions. He initiated the Qissa tradition in Punjabi and became the founder poet to give proper poetic expression to the much loved folk tale of thattime, “Heer and Ranjha”. Alongside other distinctions, his claim of being an eye-witness of many of the events of the tale had been a topic of discussion amoung Punjabi critics. There is a clear divide amid researchers over this point. This article is an effort to establish that this claim of Damodar is purely a poetic skill, not reality. Corporeal evidences and geographical locations mentioned in the tale are themselves a great hindrance to accept the claim to be real. Few examples have also been quoted to further elaborate and comprehend the point of discussion.
