Chapter I


At the door of the reverend lama
A bright candle has been lit.
Of the nine branches of “Geser”
Tell the first!
Ai-dun, zai-io!

The time has come to open the box,
Take from it the ten arrows
And tell of the head
Of the thirteen khans!
The time has come to open the chest,

Take from it the twenty arrows
And tell of the head
Of the twenty three khans!
Ai-dun, zei…!
