The Story op ’aBrijguma’s Marriage to Kesar.
No. 1.
The child (Kesar) went to the teacher r Tse clgn, to ask him, who
was his father. The teacher, knowing that he would come, had ordered
his servants who were cutting grass, to send the child to him. The
servants gave the child some food, which he pretended to eat, whilst
hiding it in his sleeve. Then the child fastened a golden fly to a string
and played with it. One of the servants asked to play with the fly.
Because he lost it, Kesar asked for a compensation. The servants said,
that he had received a compensation already, having got so much food.
Now Kesar opened his sleeve and returned to every one what had been
given to him. Then the servants acknowledged themselves to be in
Kasar’s debt and brought some beer and a goat to please him. After
that he did them a special favor and cut the grass for them in a mira-
culous way.
Kesar took the goat before the window of the hermitage and made
preparations to kill it. The teacher asked him not to do so, and Kesar
promised not to kill it, if the teacher would tell him, who was his
father, r Tse dgu advised the boy to go to the plain, ‘ with the three
stone-pyramids of black, white and red colour ’ because there he would
be told. The teacher had arrived there secretly before the boy, and
was now hidden in one of the pyramids. When the child asked his
question, the hermit answered from inside the pyramid, that Agu
Pasang Idanru skyes was Kesar’s father. Because this was a lie, all the
grass and the trees of the ‘ cold valley ’ faded at once and became
black. Kesar restored the trees and the grass to life again and went
to the innermost part of the valley, where he found Pasang Idan ru
skyes. This Agu was astonished to be called ‘father’ by Kesar-. He
was loaded with wood and, being furnished with a nose-ring, was led to
Gog bzang lhamo, where he was introduced as Kesar’s father.

The boy (Kesar) heard, that the Agus had decided to distribute
the land gLing among them. He went to the place of meeting, dressed
like a monk. On the way there he met with Agu dPalle, who invited
him to take a seat on the horse behind him. He did so and caused a host
of lice to attack the Agu, so that the Agu almost lost his temper.
The boy asked the Agus to let him have a part of the land of
gLing, but the Agus gave him only the privilege of being present at
every wedding and at every burial and besides that the ford s Byichu
and the Ghomu-plain. The boy made use of his privilege, but sang
comic songs at burials and solemn songs at weddings. To keep him
silent, the parties had to give him much money (nor)*
