- Transcription: Traditional story about Arthluuk and Raangchel
- Transcription of a retelling of Arthluuk le Raangchel paomin (the Story of Arthluuk and Raangchel), as told by Swamy Tholung Ksen. Two brothers Arthluk and Rangchel fell in love with the same girl, Sombel, who loved Rangchel. There were also a tiger and wildcat who were friends. The tiger asked the wildcat how to catch chickens. The wildcat fools him, and the tiger threatens to eat the wildcat.The wildcat tells the tiger to wait and he will catch a woman for him. He was not able to catch Sombel who was guarded by her dogs, so instead they perform magic on her, making her ill. The tiger turned into a human and offered to heal her in exchange for her hand in marriage. Reversing their spell, he healed her and took her away to a faraway place she had never been, and turned back into a tiger. Arthluk and Rangchel heard her cry of distress, and reported to her parents, who ask the villagers for help. Only Arthluk and Rangchel agreed to go after her. Sombel learned they were coming when she finds a leaf bearing the scent of the brothers. When they arrived, Sombel hid them from the tiger, saying they should leave the next day. She managed to distract the tiger from his suspicion. They escaped at night while the tiger slept. When the tiger caught up to them, Rangchel intercepted them. They fought, and the stars intervened on behalf of Rangchel, who prevailed. As the brothers were rescuing Sombel out of a cricket-hole, Arthluk cut the rope, trapping Rangchel. By planting a tall tree he managed to escape eventually. When Rangchel returned, Arthluk proposed they shoot eggs off each other's heads. Arthluk intentionally killed Rangchel and married Sombel, who killed him in revenge.
