Note 52 — Chapter IV
Reading edition
This story is edited by Jülg in Mongolian and German (Innsbruck, 1867). Miss Busk gives a free adaptation rather than a translation of the German version, “Sagas,” p. 315. Prof. De Gubernatis, “Zool. Myth.” vol. i. p. 138, of course interprets it as a sun-myth—an interpretation to which the names Sunshine and Moon, and the date of the adventure (the fifteenth of the month), lend themselves.
