Abstract
For the sake of all humans, it is said, the goddess Okn Tengri sacrificed herself to a monster. She became pregnant by the monster and bore him a baby boy. Then she killed the monster by opening an iron chest that housed his soul. When she opened the chest, a sparrow was inside. By killing the sparrow she killed the monster. On her way back home Okn Tengri met the goddess Green Tara who advised her to leave the boy on the bank of a river.
