Geser. The Вuryat heroic epic

No weapon could cut him and only the seven celestial smiths could deal with the boy. He falls into the lower world.

The black mangadkhai Lobsogoldoi had three sisters. The eldest sister Yenkhoboi tells Lobsogoldoi toВ turn into aВ traveling lama, build aВ temple and desecrate Geser with aВ dirty cup. Lobsogoldoi captures Urmai Gokhon. Asurai mangadkhai ploughs on the donkey. Alma Mergen flies toВ the country ofВ Khonin Khoto as aВ lark. There she sends the hail on the ground. The donkey eats the hail and that gives him strength.

Alma Mergen having turned into Lobsogoi’s sister Yenkhoboi comes and asks to give her the donkey. Together with the donkey she rises up to the sky to Gurme grandmother. They clean and wash Geser and he resumes his former look.

Geser together with his bators sets out on aВ journey. His place ofВ destination is the country ofВ Khonin Khoto. He wants toВ bring back his wife Urmai Gokhon. He fights with Lobsogoldoi, throws him into aВ deep hole and leaves the guards with the iron bodies armed with the arrows.

Having returned home he arranges aВ good feast which lasts nine days.

Geser fights with Shirem Minata devil. Neither Geser’s Khanggai arrow nor his black spear, nor his yellow damask steel dagger can cut the devil. Sherem Minata beats Geser with a cast iron whip. The bator gets weakened. On his winged horse he goes to the skies and asks his father Khan Khirmas and his brother Zasa Mergen to give him advice how he could conquer the devil.

Manzan Gurme-grandmother gives Geser a wool-carding twig. Geser with that twig knocks to pieces the devil’s cast iron whip and beats him to death.

Geser goes to Alma Megen’s father to ask him help to tame the late four sons of the Mother-Earth. Uhan Lobson-khan gives him his magic walking stick. Geser sets out in search of those four late sons, at last he finds them. They turn into a healing spring, silver, gold and ginseng, that help Geser live a long and happy life.

The Chinese sovereign Gumen-khan after his favorite wife’s death orders his people to mourn her for three years in the posture her death caught them. He himself fell asleep for three years embracing his dead wife. The khan’s subjects decided to address Abai Geser for help, they sent one of the seven black smiths to him. Geser promises to help them but he needs the seven black smith’s heads, the seventy carts of wool and a big copper.
