ABSTRACT

Sübegedei Bagatur appealed to the Lord, saying: ‘This woman has cursed our men and geldings and caused them to die. Please release the marksman Khasar from the Great Punishment.’ The Lord agreed, let him mount his own horse Winged Tawny, fetched him and had him shoot. As Khasar had suffered in the fetters, he could only shoot her through the kneecap. The woman fell on her side, and as she died she cursed him, saying: ‘May Khasar’s male children die of wounds. May his female children be abandoned by their husbands.’
