N PETR OGOTOEV
Stalwart, unweakening tendon
And muscles they have.
When cut — don’t bleed,
When speared — don’t change,
Don’t die, don’t come to an end.
I see, you are much stronger,
Much more powerful!
If I kill you, my father-in-law,
Using my eighty-eight sly witchcrafts,
My ninety-nine escaping deceptions,
I’ll be mocked at by three Worlds,
I’ll be insulted and abused in future.”
Having said these words,
He jumped to his feet
Turning to the North,
Started to bewail:
Eos Tardar
“My elder sister
Khaan Sarakhaidaan the Great Witch,
If you’re sleeping, wake up,
If you’ve fainted, come to yourself,
If you’ve died, raise your head,
If you’re far, come nearer,
If you’re near, come up to me at once!
Do you remember my ball
Weighing five pounds ?
Because of my killing the best men
Of three Worlds
My poor mother used to put it
Under her sleeping pillow.
Steal it as quick as possible,
Bring it to me immediately!
Be the Sun, be the Moon for me!
My sensitive bewitched plate got worse,
I ask you seldom, save my soul, please!
Don’t waste your time and efforts
Chasing Uot Uhuma
Not wanting to marry you
