Challiana (Murray) lo ziak chhâwn dân chuan, “Kum 1901-ah Pûkpui lal Dâra kawt kâwnah Krismas kan hmang a, thut nân dâp kan phah a, Pu Rochawnghluta sial kan talh a, chutih lai chuan Kristian kan la tlêm khawp mai a, inchhûng khat chu kan tling” tih a ni.Heta Krismas hmang kan hriatte chu – Chhîpphîr khaw bul, Zote lal ina awm, Challianbûki, Hlunzîki leh Pâwngi, Lungmawi khua ami Lalchhîngi, Rûmi leh Thangi te, Zosâpthara thuihruai te, Pûkpui khuaa Kristian awmsa 47 te, an vaiin 57 an ni.
