When Dyi imposed too heavy a tribute on the people, they stopped giving him sacrifices. Then Dyy began to punish the apostates, and people turned to Veles for help.
God Veles responded and defeated Dyi, destroying his heavenly palace, made of eagle wings. Veles threw Dyya from the sky into the kingdom of Viy. And the people rejoiced:
Oh god Veles! You are our Sun, illuminating the fields! You are both the Moon and the Star Belt! You are our blooming Earth! The heavenly hosts are behind you! You are a wise and Strong God! You are an Eagle faster and winged! You have overcome the dashing blow! “The Book of Kolyada”, 1st
But then Dy, with the help of Viy, rose to Earth again and arranged a feast, to which Veles himself was invited, as if for reconciliation. When Veles came to this feast, Dyy offered him a spell with poison. Veles drank it and went himself to the kingdom of Viy, and was imprisoned in the farthest cave.
And then Azovushka came to his aid. She went down to Viy and begged him to let Veles go.
And then Veles and Azovushka walked through the underground halls and palaces to the exit. But at the very exit from the caves, the voice of the Most High was heard, saying that Azovushka could come out here, but Veles, who had lost his previous body, would have to go through another gate, that is, after many generations he would be born again.
But Azovushka did not want to leave Veles. And after Azov Mountain closed, she remained with Veles to wait for other times.
And then Veles died and was born many times, he was Don, the son of Danu, and Ramna, the son of Ra, and Taurus, as well as As and Asila, Aster. His wife Azovushka also had many faces.
