Yuri Sheikin, sjaman fra Novosibirsk, samtaler med Hotarie, en beskyttende ånd:
The Mother of bears, the Father of bears,
listen to me today.
The time when sunbeam is covered
you are using for sleep,
right is your going to rest....
While using your two like a reindeer team
we'll racing past all bad years
without losses.
Today it is right to say -
all the life of my children
is opened to the Water-eagle,
way of that kind, such a way.
My invasion is right -
the day, shrouded from me
will be opened by Hotarie the Water-stag,
the master of the water way...
But today, my dearest children,
if I'm really right
then in the direction of sunset you can,
they are saying, there you can
see a visible dark cloud.
Handler det om den våte veien? Eller om å styre været? Eller om å be om beskyttelse mot uår?
