G, Aston, Written on the plot of the Buddhist Jataka about two princes - Friend Dobrai D Tiyaruge Evil . This jataka was reworked in accordance with the laws of development and the types of behavior of the characters developed by the Korean traditional narrative. As a result, the Buddhist idea of mercy to all living beings and forgiveness of the worst enemies was replaced by the idea of the inevitable overcoming of chaos and punishment of evil forces - violators of cosmic and social harmony.
