The archive’s description
Written by the editors of the SKVR type index and quoted as it stands, in Finnish.
Tässä runoaiheessa vain marjan kutsu, Marjavirressä koko tapahtumasarja. Säilytetään epiikassa paikallisen Marjavirsi-yhteyden (I, II) takia, mutta yleensä tekstit ei-eeppisiä: marjaan mennessä, lyyriset yhteydet yms.
