The Legend of Yellung Hang.

Still existent in Kathmandu, there is a terra cotta figure of Yellung Hang, circa 3rd Century B.C. Uninformed sources would readily comment that the statue of Yellung Hang is in unfinished form, that is to say, its lower limbs have not been sculpted out.

The legend of Yellung Hang, according to Kirati Folklore goes like this:

Yellung Hang as has been alluded earlier, enjoyed a divine nature and would often walk in and out of Paru, at will. He was welcome in Paru and often times known to have been seen walking with Paru Hang around countryside. Yellung Hang was a good King, he was a benevolent man and would approach Paru Hang with problems of his people, the Kiratis, which he found to be too complicated to resolve himself. And, the Kiratis loved him.

The Kiratis were very fond of their King, Yellung Hang.

According to Kirati folklore, one day the Pancha-Kirat decided to install a statue of Yellung Hang so that they may never be left without their Hang. Although his absence from Kathmandu during his journeys to Paru was never unduly long, they feared their King may one day decide not to return to the mortal world at all. That is the reason the sculptor is known to have left the feet of the statue incomplete to prevent him from walking away from their midst.
