Then the Nishan Shaman took Sergudai by hand. As she led him, they met her husband by the path. He placed a cauldron full of oil over a sorghum fire to bring it to boil.

When she saw this, she lost her temper.

When he saw his wife, he gnashed his teeth brittlely, and with hate, he said, Rising Nishan! You can bring all other people back to life. Wouldn't you rather take and revive your most beloved husband than this boy?

I am here waiting for you, boiling this cauldron full of oil purposely!

Will you revive me or not? Tell me the truth, quickly! If you do not revive me, then I will not let you go! This cauldron is prepared for you!

The Nishan Shaman chanted,

7 Песня шаманки:

Beloved husband, hailambi xulembi!

Listen carefully, hailambi xulembi!

Beloved man, hailambi xulembi!

Hurry up and listen, hailambi xulembi!

Open your thin ear, hailambi xulembi,

and listen to me, hailambi xulembi!

Your thick ear, hailambi xulembi,

close and listen, hailambi xulembi!

You, hailambi xulembi,

veins and tendons torn, hailambi xulembi!

Dead for a long time, hailambi xulembi!

Dried up and rotten, hailambi xulembi!

Bones and flesh, hailambi xulembi,

all crumbled, hailambi xulembi!

Why should I revive you, hailambi xulembi,

beloved husband, hailambi xulembi!

If you care about me, hailambi xulembi,

please, let me go, hailambi xulembi!

at your grave, hailambi xulembi,

paper money, hailambi xulembi,

a heap I'll burn, hailambi xulembi!

porridge and vegetables, hailambi xulembi,

a heap I'll offer, hailambi xulembi!

Your mother, hailambi xulembi,

I serve and respect, hailambi xulembi!

If you consider this, hailambi xulembi,

you will forgive me, hailambi xulembi!

For your old mother, hailambi xulembi,

have sympathy, hailambi xulembi!

keep whimpering and let me go, hailambi xulembi!

When she was begging, her husband ground his teeth with hate, and said, Rising, merciless, Nishan Shaman wife, you listen! When I was alive, you called me wretched and shut your eyes, despising me. So many times! Clearly you know what is inside your heart.

Not only that, you did only as you pleased. Whether you serve my mother well or not is only according to your whims. Don't you see it this way? Today, before you, I will settle two scores with you at once.

Either you get into this cauldron of oil yourself, or I will throw you in! Decide, quickly!

The shaman's face turned red. She filled with anger and said, Listen to me, beloved husband!

Listen, dear husband! When you left, what did you leave me? You left nothing, except a mother in poverty. I was only twelve years old. I could have made my own life and forgotten about her. But no, I felt sorry for her and stayed by her side, taking care of her as if I was her daughter.'

But I'm seeing that death has taught you nothing', Nishan continued, as her husband was about to pounce on her, so you'd better go to that place where everyone is like you.'

And, raising her hands to heaven, Nishan Shaman invoked the spirits:

Great crane that flies over the forests, snatch my husband with your claws and throw him in Ela Guren, so that he'll not incarnate again in this world, but in another where everyone is as mean as he is.'

While she was chanting, a great crane came flying.

Immediately it seized him, and when the shaman saw it fly and throw her husband into Fengdu City.
