Yumyn ӱdyr in the heavenly dwelling by Nuriev Rustam 2011

"A Mari myth has survived, telling about the daughter of Yumo , who lived in heaven:

'The beauty longed in the heavenly abode, because there were no suitors. There was, however, a younger brother of the heavenly God, but he was a relative and, in addition, known for his evil deeds. Heavenly flocks had nowhere to graze in heaven. One day, Yumo's daughter went down to the ground and at the spring met a man emerging from a wild strawberry (mor <praur. * Marja). The earthly guy (deity of vegetation, the first man?) And the heavenly maiden fell in love with each other. Daughter Yumo persuaded the young man to snatch her secretly. According to one version, the lovers, so that the father of Yumyn ӱdyr thought that his daughter would die, hung the girl's handkerchief on the birch that grew by the river (the daughter allegedly drowned herself). According to the other, they installed a pole, to which they tied the Yumyn dyr scarf(explanation of the presence of poles with towels on the Mari graves). Yumo decided that his daughter died and fell into such grief that a crop failure occurred on the earth (here the supreme God is the source of the productive forces of nature). But the grief soon dulled, and when the young brought a newborn child, God forgave them and arranged a feast for the sake of reconciliation. Yumo 's younger brother  , Yin (Keremet), got drunk at the feast and started a quarrel with his unwanted son-in-law. He threw the unfortunate man from the sky: sacred trees grew from his shattered body: oaks and birches (cf. Egyptian cult paintings depicting a tree sprouting from the tomb of Osiris ; the Kalevala myth of Lemminkäinen , dismembered into pieces by Khiisi, Lovha's husband ). Yumo threw his brother to earth, imprisoning him forever in the underworld. The son of his daughter Yumo became the ancestor of the Mari people.'

This version, published by the Russian writer E. Chirikov in 1916, goes back to earlier retellings of the Mari ethnogenetic myth. The first records of the legend that the Mari are the grandchildren of their supreme deity (including N. S. Nurminsky, P. V. Znamensky, S. K. Kuznetsov) do not contain any mention of Keremet."
