Chotkar wrestling a bear by unknown artist

"On the green bank of Ileta, where the Yushut River flows into, the poor hunter Shumat gave birth to a son, Chotkar.

Chotkar grew by leaps and bounds. For five years, he had already become a giant hero and often went hunting with his father, fought one-on-one with a club-footed strong bear and always defeated him. And when he grew up, there was no equal in strength in the whole district. With one blow of his fist, he could break any pine tree, he could uproot a century-old oak tree.

People were amazed at the power of Chotkar and called him Chotkar Patyr."
