Özet: Salur Qazan, who has a special place in our epic tradition, is the hero who has surrounded all the narratives of the Günbäd manuscript, which was unearthed in 2019 and introduced to the world of science. On the pages 38-39 of the manuscript, Qazan’s heroism about the “holding the rolling stone” was explained in the soylama, which he expressed in his heroism. This narrative is a heroism of Qazan, which has been described as “epic stereotype” in Shejere-i Terākime, Topkapi Oγuz-name and the Dresden manuscript of Dede Qorqut Book. It is also seen that this narrative has a reflection among the Altay Turks. The analysis of this narrative, which is full of uncertainties both in terms of the location of the event, the nature of the event and the parties of the event, is an important contribution to the uncovering the ground on which epics are fed. In this analysis, it is aimed to compare the text with parallel narratives and to reveal the similarities and differences between the texts and to reveal the scope of the text's expression.
