                               Flying like an arrow
                               Got to the other side
                               Before the gorge snapped.
                               The two black stones
                               Threshed and smashed
                               A sharp point of the needle,
                               It lost its lustre.
                               Eles Bootur didn’t notice
                               When he became himself.
                               Having passed two obstacles
                               Of Eos Tardar successfully
                               Not knowing and not thinking
                               What was coming
                               He rolled head over heels
                               Towards the Low World
                               He was going down
                               Along a narrow passage
                               Looking like a throat of a bull calf,
                               It became wider and wider.
                               Soon he reached a nice land
                               Full of singing birds and cuckoos,
                               Covered with green grass,
                               Just at the end of the passage
                               He saw a small dwelling
                               Its flue smoking
                               Inviting to enter.
                               Just across the silky field
                               Swimming like a swan,
                               Shining like the Sun,
                               Shimmering like a flower,
                               Smiling at him tenderly,
                               Driving her three cows,
                               Gazing at him prettily,
                               A beautiful girl
                              Was coming up to him.
                               Stopping in front of him,
                               Opening her lovely mouth,
                               Uttered these kind words:
