Said by someone declaring that they answer to nobody: there is no one and nothing to hold them back or keep them in place.

Anam, qıyınlı, ölmey tursa, alanı men jırlatırem! Ölse ua, eki – ayağım, bir – tayağım. Janların kübür içinde kübürçekde da tutsunla! – dedi Murat."My mother, poor thing — if she were still alive, I would make them sing! But if she dies, then two are my legs and one is my stick. Let them keep their souls in a coffer inside a chest!" said Murat.
