"Poireiton Khunthok" (Meitei: ꯄꯣꯢꯔꯩꯇꯣꯟ ꯈꯨꯟꯊꯣꯛ) or "Poireiton Khunthokpa" (Meitei: ꯄꯣꯢꯔꯩꯇꯣꯟ ꯈꯨꯟꯊꯣꯛꯄ) (literally, immigration by Poireiton)[1] is an ancient Meitei literary narrative work (puya), describing about the immigration of a band of colonies, led by a man, Poireiton, the prince and younger brother of Thongaren, the god of the underworld kingdom,[2] in the plains of the Kangleipak kingdom (present day Manipur).[1][3][4][5]
It is partially an allegorical work, which includes mythical elements as the integral parts of the saga.[1][6] Part of the lore is that the knowledge of how to use fire was introduced to the people of Kangleipak by Poireiton.[7]
