Abstract:

The idea of filial piety has been very widespread in all spheres of Mongolian cultural life. It was present in folk songs as well as in high level literary works of the 13th-14th centuries. The present paper is devoted to a unique manuscript originating from the 17th century: Dalai blam-a-yin eèige eke-degen aèi qariulqui neretü sudur from the Oriental Collection of the Library of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences. The s umacr

tra seems to be a manual used at funerals, or during the rituals of the mourning period, and is a very nice piece of Mongolian literature remembering and praising the mother's love towards her child.
