When a daughter was born to the mountaineer Kerenduk, the moon was reflected in the mountain river like a flame, and so Kerenduk named his daughter Matsesta, which in the mountain dialect meant ‘fire water’. The parents loved their daughter dearly, and Matsesta responded with care and attention. When her parents fell seriously ill, Matsesta learned from an old man about a magical underground spring that could heal them. She entered the cave, where it was, and engaged in an unequal battle with the evil Spirit of the Depths, who guarded the healing spring from people. The brave girl defeated the evil spirit, opening the way for the spring to benefit humanity. However, she paid for this victory with her life — her bright and kind soul dissolved in the ‘fire water’. Ever since then, the healing water that brings health to people has been known as Matsesta, named after this beautiful and brave girl.
