Once there was a feast in Svarga. And suddenly the beaten warriors of Svarog appeared in the hall and complained that they had been beaten by the giant volots Dyya, led by his son Churila.
Svarog became angry, gathered the entire heavenly army and went to war against the kingdom of Dyya, which is in the Ural Mountains. And they defeated the army of Dyevo, and sealed the marvelous people under the Ural Mountains.
And after that Svarog and Svarozhichi went with Dyeva and Churila to Dyeva’s mansion and had a feast. Churila decided to atone for his sins; he brought gold and precious stones from secret storerooms and presented them to Svarog. And then Svarog took Churila into his service.
But even in the service of Svarog, Churila continued to plot intrigues. Churila was very attractive, like all Dyya's children. Lada even began to look at him, she said the following words:
“My bright mind went crazy, my clear eyes grew dim, looking at Churilov’s beauty, at Churilin’s yellow curls, at his gilded rings...
And Svarog said to this:
“It’s Smoke that obscures your eyes, it’s Night that obscures your mind... Get away from Churil’s table!”
And then Churila began to court Tarusa, the wife of the god of prayers Barma. Divya people, sealed by Alexander the Great (he ousted Svarog and Dazhbog - A.A. from the legends) live in the Ural Mountains, have exits to the world through caves... They come out of the mountains and walk among people, but people do not see them. Their culture is the greatest, and the light in their mountains is no worse than the Sun. Divya people are small in stature, very beautiful and with a pleasant voice, but only a select few can hear them. They foretell different events to people. They say that in the villages of Belosudskoe, Zaikovskoe and Ogroganovka a ringing can be heard at midnight; Only people of good life, with a clear conscience, heard it. Such people hear the ringing and go to the square to the church. An old man from among the wonderful people comes and talks about the events and predicts what will happen... (Recording by Onuchkov, made in 1927 near Sverdlovsk.)
