In ancient times, a wealthy man named Toktarbay lived in the land of the Karakipchaks. For many years, he had no children. After much prayer and anticipation, his wife, Analyk, gave birth to a son, Koblandy, and a daughter, Karlygash. From childhood, Koblandy was distinguished by extraordinary courage. He received his first lessons in martial arts from Estemis, who tended herds of horses.
Koblandy quickly grew up and became a batyr, capable of defending his people. He married Kurtka, the daughter of Khan Koktim Aymak. Kurtka was renowned not only for her beauty but also for her intelligence and insight. She knew how to foresee upcoming trials and always offered Koblandy wise advice.
On Kurtka's advice, the batyr chose a variegated mare. She carefully raised her son, Taiburyl, for several years, preparing him for future campaigns. Over time, Taiburyl becomes a powerful tulpar and Koblandy's most trusted companion.
One day, Khan Kazan attacks the Nogai people and captures the cities of Syrly and Kyrly. Upon learning of the disaster that has befallen the country, Koblandy decides to march against the enemy.
Kurtka warns her husband that Taiburyl has not yet reached his best form and advises him to postpone the campaign for a while. But Koblandy cannot stand aside when the honor and freedom of the people are at stake. Ignoring his wife's advice, he mounts Taiburyl and sets out.
The powerful steed swiftly covers the vast distance and delivers its master to the enemy. Koblandy enters the battle, defeats Khan Kazan's army, and liberates the captured cities.
After this campaign, Koblandy, together with Karaman, sets out for the domain of Khan Kobikty. Two warriors attempt to steal his herds, but Kobikty discovers their trail and captures Koblandy.
The warrior finds himself in a difficult situation. But Kobikty's daughter, Karlyga, admires his courage and decides to secretly help the captive. With her help, Koblandy manages to free himself. He engages in battle with Kobikty and defeats him. It is Karlyga's support that helps the warrior escape this dangerous situation.
Koblandy and Kurtka have a son, Bokenbay.
Years pass. Enemies again attack the Kipchak lands. During the battle, Koblandy is wounded and nearly falls into enemy hands. At this moment, young Bokenbay comes to his father's aid. He defeats Khan Shoshay, thus demonstrating his readiness to continue his father's heroic path.
Researchers count 29 versions of the epic about Koblandy the warrior. 26 of them recount his exploits. The oldest version of the work has not survived to this day: over the centuries, each zhyrau added to and reworked the tale to suit their own times.
But no matter how many years pass, the memory of Koblandy-batyr's exploits lives on. His courage, sense of honor, and devotion to his native land remain an example for future generations.
