At his request, the king invites all the daredevils of the Caucasus to try their strength and grace in the presence of a girl to see which of them can be worthy of his daughter's love. The girl, however, does not consider the agility competition to be the right way to find and choose a young man who sincerely loves her. The daredevils who came to the competition offered the girl "treasure, gold, silver, precious stones and jewels." But the girl does not accept any such conditions. She demands from his future spouse to find and bring the unquenchable flame of love; in order to fulfill that condition, the daredevils fly to the four corners of the world to look for and bring it. The girl waits with longing, but no dare can bring the unquenchable flame of happy love.

And the daredevils looking for the unquenchable flame turn into butterflies, and to this day, seeing the fire, they jump into it to take it to the beautiful Parvana, but they are immediately destroyed.
