The article examines the motive for the transformation of a person into a donkey. The author conducts a comparative analysis of this motif on the basis of the Beijing version, which is most susceptible to Buddhist processing, the Zain version, and the Buryat versions of the Geseriad. In each text, there is a different elaboration of this motive, which makes each of the versions under consideration unique.
