Manas rides out with the host to meet the unknown rider foretold by the dream. On Ashmara's hill the two heroes measure each other by a footprint; at the white tent Almambet names himself, is showered with the very gifts Kokcho refused him, and at the ride home becomes Manas's brother by the old rite of the milk. The tale of Almambet concludes. From the earliest written Manas, recorded from Kyrgyz singers in 1862–1869 and published by Wilhelm Radlov in 1885 (Proben der Volkslitteratur, Part V), in a fresh English translation made for KacheliTV.
