| 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
| (A young man) lives together with his thunder brother-in-law, with his wind brother-in-law. | 
| 2 | 
| 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
| They lived for a short time or a long time, their young brother-in-law says to the brothers-in-law, I'm going, I'll wander for a short or a long time to some region, (then) I'll come (back). | 
| 3 | 
| 
 | 
 | 
 | 
| I'm giving you an arrow. | 
| 4 | 
| 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
| (If) it flows with pus, I have died a god-given death, (if) it flows with blood, I have been killed by a human, search for me. | 
| 5 | 
| 
 | 
 | 
 | 
| He went. | 
| 6 | 
| 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
| He went for a short time or he went for a long time, he came to watery marshes, he came to dry marshes. | 
| 7 | 
| 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
| He wandered for a short or a long time. | 
| 8 | 
| 
 | 
 | 
 | 
| Suddenly he returned. | 
| 9 | 
| 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
| When he came his wife was not there. | 
| 10 | 
| 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
| He says to his thunder brother-in-law and to his wind brother-in-law, who has stolen my wife? | 
| 11 | 
| 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
| His thunder brother-in-law and his wind brother-in-law say, she was stolen by the devil. | 
| 12 | 
| 
 | 
 | 
 | 
| Don't go. | 
| 13 | 
| 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
| I won't let the likes of my princess-daughter, of my prince-daughter (go). | 
| 14 | 
| 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
| We'll search for just such a princess-daughter for you, we'll search for just such a prince-daughter. | 
| 15 | 
| 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
| He didn't listen, he left. | 
| 16 | 
| 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
| He went for a short time, he went for a long time, he came to the devil. | 
| 17 | 
| 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
| A miserable servant is watering the cattle. | 
| 18 | 
| 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
| Where, he says, is the entrance? | 
| 19 | 
| 
 | 
 | 
 | 
| He was shown (how) to enter. | 
| 20 | 
| 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
| And he went in. | 
| 21 | 
| 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
| He looks, his wife is sitting there. | 
| 22 | 
| 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
| Suddenly his wife says to the devil, you used to go visiting, why don't you go now? | 
| 23 | 
| 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
| The devil went, he got dressed. | 
| 24 | 
| 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
| Then they got on (a sled) and left. | 
| 25 | 
| 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
| They went for a short time, they went for a long time, when he looks back, the devil is coming. | 
| 26 | 
| 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
| Then a silver ring is flung (at him) and bits of his bones showered onto a hundred places. | 
| 27 | 
| 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
| The woman was placed (on the sled) and taken (away). | 
| 28 | 
| 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
| His thunder brother-in-law and his wind brother-in-law then lived for a short time or a long time. | 
| 29 | 
| 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
| When they notice it suddenly, the arrow had flown with blood, it had dried. | 
| 30 | 
| 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
| Then his thunder brother-in-law, his wind brother-in-law and his rain brother-in-law went to look for him. | 
| 31 | 
| 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
| His wind brother-in-law made wind, it started to blow, his bits of flesh, his bits of bone were blown together. | 
| 32 | 
| 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
| Then his rain brother-in-law started to rain, his bits of bone, his bits of flesh got rinsed. | 
| 33 | 
| 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
| His thunder brother-in-law started to thunder. | 
| 34 | 
| 
 | 
 | 
 | 
| Suddenly he sat up. | 
| 35 | 
| 
 | 
 | 
| He is sitting. | 
| 36 | 
| 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
| His thunder brother-in-law started to thunder again. | 
| 37 | 
| 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
| He thundered for a short time or he thundered for a long time. | 
| 38 | 
| 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
| Suddenly he stood up: Whew, | 
| 39 | 
| 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
| he says, I fell asleep. | 
| 40 | 
| 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
| The thunder brother-in-law and the wind brother-in-law say, you really did fell asleep. | 
| 41 | 
| 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
| We'll find you an even better princess-daughter and prince-daughter. | 
| 42 | 
| 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
| He says again, I won't let the likes of my princess-daughter, of my prince-daughter (go). | 
| 43 | 
| 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
| He went off. | 
| 44 | 
| 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
| He came to the devil. | 
| 45 | 
| 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
| Where, he says to the servant, is the entrance? | 
| 46 | 
| 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
| The servant tells him, I enter through the place named so-and-so. | 
| 47 | 
| 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
| He went and entered. | 
| 48 | 
| 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
| His wife is sitting and can be heard: you, she says to the devil, used to go visiting, why don't you go now, too? | 
| 49 | 
| 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
| The devil jumped up and left. | 
| 50 | 
| 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
| They got on (the sled) at the same time and left. | 
| 51 | 
| 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
| They went for a short time, they went for a long time, when they look back, the devil is coming. | 
| 52 | 
| 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
| When the devil flings a silver ring at him, bits of his bones are strewn over a hundred places. | 
| 53 | 
| 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
| His wife was placed (on the sled) and taken (away). | 
| 54 | 
| 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
| When his thunder brother-in-law and his wind brother-in-law notice, the arrow had flown with blood, it had dried. | 
| 55 | 
| 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
| Let's go search (for him)! | 
| 56 | 
| 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
| His thunder brother-in-law, his wind brother-in-law and his rain brother-in-law went to search. | 
| 57 | 
| 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
| The wind brother-in-law made wind. | 
| 58 | 
| 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
| The wind blew for a short time or a long time, his bits of bone, his bits of flesh were blown back together. | 
| 59 | 
| 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
| The rain brother-in-law made rain. | 
| 60 | 
| 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
| It rained for a short time or it rained for a long time, his bits of bone and bits of flesh were rinsed. | 
| 61 | 
| 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
| Then his thunder brother-in-law started to thunder. | 
| 62 | 
| 
 | 
 | 
 | 
| After a while he sat up. | 
| 63 | 
| 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
| He sat for a short time or he sat for a long time. | 
| 64 | 
| 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
| His thunder brother-in-law began to thunder again. | 
| 65 | 
| 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
| Then he thundered for a short time or he thundered for a long time, he stood up. | 
| 66 | 
| 
 | 
 | 
 | 
| Whew, | 
| 67 | 
| 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
| he says, I fell deep asleep. | 
| 68 | 
| 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
| His thunder brother-in-law says, you really did fall asleep. | 
| 69 | 
| 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
| His thunder brother-in-law and his wind brother-in-law say, we'll find you an even better princess-daughter and prince-daughter. | 
| 70 | 
| 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
| I won't let the likes of my princess-daughter (go), I won't let the likes of my prince-daughter (go). | 
| 71 | 
| 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
| I'll give my life, I'll give my soul. | 
| 72 | 
| 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
| His thunder brother-in-law and his wind brother-in-law say, you (must) know, our strength is no longer sufficient to heal (you). | 
| 73 | 
| 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
| He went off. | 
| 74 | 
| 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
| He came to the devil. | 
| 75 | 
| 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
| A servant is watering the cattle. | 
| 76 | 
| 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
| Where, he says, is the entrance? | 
| 77 | 
| 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
| I enter through the place named this or that. | 
| 78 | 
| 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
| He grabbed him and struck him dead. | 
| 79 | 
| 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
| Then he undressed him. | 
| 80 | 
| 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
| Then he dressed in his clothes. | 
| 81 | 
| 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
| Then he went to the devil. | 
| 82 | 
| 
 | 
 | 
| He entered. | 
| 83 | 
| 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
| He sat about for a long or a short time, suddenly his wife says to the devil, you used to go visiting, why don't you go now? | 
| 84 | 
| 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
| The devil got dressed and went. | 
| 85 | 
| 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
| The woman sat and says to her husband, you, she says, my princess-son, my prince-son, you (can't) escape from him from below, you (can't) escape from him from above. | 
| 86 | 
| 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
| I'm starting to pity you. | 
| 87 | 
| 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
| I'll show you. | 
| 88 | 
| 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
| Run into the horsestall, there's a mare there. | 
| 89 | 
| 
 | 
 | 
 | 
| He ran. | 
| 90 | 
| 
 | 
 | 
| Right! | 
| 91 | 
| 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
| There's a mare, it's giving birth to a foal. | 
| 92 | 
| 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
| By the time he caught it it had become a three-year-old horse. | 
| 93 | 
| 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
| By the time he mounted it, it had become a full horse. | 
| 94 | 
| 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
| He mounted, the princess-land, the prince-land fell behind. | 
| 95 | 
| 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
| Then they go. | 
| 96 | 
| 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
| When they look back, the devil is coming. | 
| 97 | 
| 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
| When he gets kicked by his horse, his bone bits showered onto a hundred places. | 
| 98 | 
| 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
| They went home. | 
| 99 | 
| 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
| His thunder brother-in-law came, his wind brother-in-law came, his rain brother-in-law came. | 
| 100 | 
| 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
| They drank for a short time, or they drank for a long time. | 
| 101 | 
| 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
| And there they lived. |
