One day, he hears the noise of a quarrel coming from a village nearby. He goes to find out what is happening there. They say:

“Oh! Our Han, one of our heroes has died.”

Delighted to think he has found a worthy opponent, Domrul asks:

“Who killed your hero? “

“Azrael with the red wings.”

Then, his eyes blurred with malice, he searches for Azrael. But Azrael is supported by the divine power and never yields to earthly power. A clash between two ends with Domrul begging for mercy.

The way to save yourself from arrogance is to repent and ask for forgiveness.

The Görogly Epics show where arrogance leads to. The story is so clear that even the blind can see its meaning.

Görogly goes on a hunting trip together with forty of his warriors and puts them under the command of Köse, saying they should bring back forty types of game. He himself sits and drinks wine, one glass of wine, then a second, then a third. His adopted son, Öwez, tries to persuade him not to drink. Görogly says:

O my Öwez, say ‘Right’ to whatever I say otherwise I’ll cut your head off!

- Right, my master.

- Even Nowºirvan Adil never ruled fairly, but I do.

- Right, my master!

- Even Hatam Taýam didn’t share fairly, but I do!
