The first chapter of the Royal Horse Race volume of the epic of King Gesar of Ling wherein:
Manene Karmo comes to Joru (Young Gesar) and instructs him to transform himself into a crow and trick evil King Trotung into having a horse race for the kingdom. Then Joru must retrieve the treasures of Ling and win the horse race.
Joru tells his mother, Gagmo he must go to Ling. Gagmo expresses her fears and worries. The Greater and Middle tribes of Ling exiled them to Mame, where they have subsisted on rodents and wild roots. Joru has been denied his birthright, as son of King Senglon. Joru assures her that his vision was truly from Manene Karmo and that she should not worry.
Joru transforms himself into a crow and claims to be Trotung's protector, Red Tamdrin. He instructs Trotung to invite all the citizens of Ling for a horse race, whereupon the winner will take the treasure of the kingdom, the throne of Ling and the hand of Lady Sengjam Drukmo of Ga Gyalo.
Trotung believes Joru and makes offerings to "Red Tamdrin". Trotung calls upon his wife, Karak Sayi Sertso, and informs her to prepare a feast for the guests and prepare herself to be demoted to only his lowly consort after Trotung wins Drukmo.
Sertso expresses her doubt that the vision was truly Tamdrin, instead saying that it was likely Joru attempting to trick her. Trotung scolds her and Sertso complies, preparing the feast.
Messengers are sent to the Greater, Middle, and Lesser tribes of Ling. Messengers from the Lesser tribe of Ling, from which Joru hails, decide that they must send a messenger to Joru in the wilderness, help him get his sacred horse, and call him forth for the horse race.
