(translated from Beijing): "After him {Dzoriktu Khan}, Elback Khan sat on the throne, the year of the dog. This Elback Khan once on a raid, when he saw the blood of a dead hare in the snow, asked: "Is there a woman who is white as snow and cheeks like this blood?" Oirat Tafu-Huthai replied: "Well, there is one!" - "Who is she, can't we see her?" - "If you really want to see her, I will say: this is your daughter-in-law, Ulzetu-Gua, the wife of your son Hagurtzak Dugureng Huntaizi." Seduced by the beauty of his daughter-in-law, Elbaek Khan said to Huthei-Tafu: "Oh, showing what you have never seen, combining what is far away, satisfying your thirst for desire, you, my Tafu, go!" He conveyed Bageji Khan's words as follows: "He sent me to see your beauty." Bageji was angry and replied: "Can the earth connect with heaven, can Khan take her daughter-in-law? Let his son, Duguren-Temur, see that Khan, his father, has become like a black dog." Ignoring his daughter-in-law's words, the khan killed his son and took her for himself. After that, Tafu came to ask the khan to be awarded the title of darugi; but as Khan was not (at home), he sat in front of the house. At this time, Hung-Bageji sent an ambassador to him and asked him to visit her and wait for her khan along with the gifts. Tafu showed up. Bageji brought him a bowl (of wine) with the following words: "You made my unimportant person important, made my small body great, and Bageji made Taihu (Empress) the name." Then she took a voluminous leather dish, divided into two halves: she poured water into one and strong arzan (wine) into the other; she drank water herself, and gave Tafu a strong arzan until she dropped. Then she put carpets in her sleeping yurt, put pillows, curtains, and put Tafu on this bed. Having disheveled her hair and scratching her face, she sent for the khan. Before Khan arrived, Tafu managed to escape. Khan chased him and in this fight his little finger was shot off. After killing Tafu, Khan ordered Suni Jamin-Taif to cut the belt out of the victim's back and sent him to his wife. Mixing Khan's blood with Tafu's fat, she licked, saying: "The blood of the khan who killed his son, the fat of Tafu, who caused the death of my master (husband, lord), which I received as a gift - that's success a woman's revenge! I don't care about dying." Although Khan recognized Bageji's indignation, he, realizing his guilt, did not say anything to her about it"]: 156-158; Lubsan Danzan 1973 [Altan Tobchi chronicle compiled by Ordos Lama Lubsan Danzan in literary middle-aged language and dating back to the middle of the 17th century (translation from a list purchased in 1926 in eastern Mongolia from Taiji, whose ancestors migrated to Khalkha from Chakhar in the 17th century): "After that, in the same year, dogs {in 1394} sat on the great throne Elbag-hagan. Elbag-Hagan, while hunting in a raid, saw the blood of a dead hare falling drops on the snow and said, "Is there a beauty with white skin like snow with her cheeks as rosy as blood?" Elbag-Hagan said so. Oirat Huhai Taiu said: "There is a woman of similar beauty. Yes!" - "Who is she? Hagan asked. "Can I see her?" I would like to see it!" - [Hagan said]. "If so, I'll say it. Your son's [wife] Khargutsug Dhreng Temr-Huntaiji Ldzate goa-hunbegichi, your daughter-in-law, is just so beautiful," he said. Elbag Niglesgchi-hagan, burning with a passion for the beauty of his daughter-in-law, commanded Oirat Huhai Tai: "You, allowing you to see [not yet] seen, allowing you to connect with what is far away, wish-satisfying, my Taiu, go!" On this order, the Hagan went and handed what he said to the Bagichi. "He sent me wanting to see your color and brilliance!" Bagichi, angry, told me to say: "Can Heaven be connected to Earth? Can high khans look at their daughter-in-law? Did your son Dgrang Temr-Huntaiji die? Did the hagan become a bad thing?" That's what she said. But Hagan did not take those words, killed his son, [and] married his daughter-in-law. After that, Huhai Taiu came to ask for tarak. "There is no Hagan," said [Taiu], and while he was sitting in front of the yurt, the Hunbegichi sent a servant to him. "I'm waiting for a hagan for my feast. Come to the yurt before he does." Tahiu came, and when he came in, the bagichi, holding the bowl, said: "You made my bad person good, /You made my insignificant person great, /I made my bagichi the title of daihu." She filled a leather vessel of two bags with one hole - one bag of strong vodka and water into the other. She drank water herself, and Tyu let him drink strong vodka and gave him a drink, [so] he fell down. Wanting to avenge him for her taiji, she ordered Taya to be placed on her carpets and pillows and the canopy pulled. After scratching her face and releasing her hair, she sent a messenger to the hagan. While Hagan hurried [to her] when he heard this, Tyu ran away. When the Hagan chased him and they fought, Taiu shot his little finger across the hagan. Hagan killed Taya and, with the help of his servant named Zhashin Daibu from the Sunite, took the skin off his back, took it and, when he came to the bagichi, gave it to her. After mixing Taiu's fat with hagan's blood, she licked it and said: "The blood of Hagan, her son's murderer, was a gift for me; I am pleased with Taiu's fat, who sought to harm his lord's soul. Although I'm a woman, didn't I take revenge with this? Wouldn't it matter if I die?" Having learned about the Bagichi deception, the Hagan, realizing his mistake, did not say anything to her"]: 257-258; Zheleznyakov, Tsendina 2005 [1) the anonymous chronicle "Altan Tobchi", probably dating back to the middle of the 17th century. (translated from a list found in a private library in Beijing as part of the Genghis Hagan-u Chadig collection and published in Tokyo in 1941): "In the Year of the Dog [1394], Elbag- Nigulesegchi Khan. One day, during a cloud hunt, Elbag Khan saw a dead hare shed in the snow. He said, "Is there a beautiful woman with the same white face and scarlet cheeks like that?" Oirat Huhai-Tayu replied: "There is such a beautiful woman." "Who is she?" , - the khan asked him. [Huhai] replied: "Although you can't talk, I will. This is your son's wife, Hagurtsag-deguren-Temur-Huntaiji Ould-zeytu-Goa-Bigichi. Elbag-Nigulesegchi Khan wanted a beautiful daughter-in-law. He gave Oirat Huhai-Tai the following order: "Showing the invisible, bringing the distant closer, fulfilling wishes, my Taya, bring her to me!" After receiving the order, Tayu went and said to Bigichi like this: "I was sent to you by a khan who wants to see your beauty!" As soon as he said this, the Bigichi became angry and replied: "How can Earth and Sky connect? Do great khans see their daughters-in-law? Has his son Deguren-Temur-Huntaiji already passed away? Does Khan want to be like a black dog?" Khan ignored these words, poisoned his son and married his daughter-in-law. After that, he returned to his home. After a while, Huhai-Tai went to Khan to ask for darkhanism, but the khan was gone, and he waited for him. Bigichi sent a servant to pick him up and told him to say: "While waiting for Khan, come to me for a treat." After Tayu entered the yurt, the Bigichi handed him a bowl and said: "You made my low lady noble. You made my little lady tall. You raised the name Bigichi to Taihu." She filled the vessel, which consisted of two separate halves but had one neck, with vodka and water. From one half where there was water, she drank herself, and Taya was offered vodka. She gave him a drink that he fell. She tousled Taya's hair, unlocked the curtain and laid it on the felt spread out. She combed her face on her own, pulled out her hair and sent for Khan. Before Khan heard about this, Tayu woke up and fled. Khan ran in pursuit. [Tayu] fired an arrow and wounded Khan in the little finger. Khan killed Taya and ordered Sundi Janshin Taiba to cut a piece of skin from his back and hand it over to the bigichi. Bigichi, mixing Khan's blood with Tayu's fat and licking them, said: "The blood of Khan, who, seduced by beauty, killed his son, was a gift to me. Tayu's fat, who harmed his master, became a pleasure for me. This is my woman's revenge. Now if I'm going to die, there's nothing to regret." Khan, although he learned about the Bigichi's deception, did not punish her, realizing that he was guilty"; 2) the chronicle "Bolor Toli" ("Crystal Mirror"), compiled by Da-Lama Jambadorji from the middle Urat Khoshun in 1830-1840s: "After that, Elbag-Niguleshu became Khan. After seven years of Elbag-Niguleshu's reign, one day, when he was hunting and saw drops of blood in the snow, he asked Huhai-Taihu in Oirat: "Is there a woman on earth with a white face like this snow? and scarlet cheeks like this blood?" When he said so, Huhai-Taihu in Oirat replied: "The beauty of Ulzeitu, the wife of Khagurtsag-Duguren-Huntaiji, exceeds your description." Elbag Khan, very happy, said: "Oh, Huhai-Taihu, if I see her with my own eyes, I will make you a chinsan and appoint you to rule the Four Oirats." Then Huhai-Taihu immediately went and arrived at the Khagurtsag-Duguren-Huntaiji yurt, who was hunting at that time. When Huhai-Taihu saw Hanshu Ulzeita and told her the purpose of his visit, Hansha Ulzeitu became very angry and said to him, "Why did your khan need to see me? If he, a great man, has no shame and is like cattle, then you should not intervene between the two sides like a donkey." With these words, she spat Huhai-Taihu right in the face. Very ashamed and embittered, Huhai-Taihu left. When he reported everything to his khan, Elbag Khan was filled with passion and anger. Elbag Khan ambushed Khagurtsag-Duguren Khuntaiji and killed him, and took his wife, who was three months pregnant, for himself. Elbag Khan then asked Hanshi Ulzeita: "Did you get pregnant with my younger brother Huntaiji, or by someone else?" Hansha, out of revenge, deceiving him, replied: "This is from Huhai Taihu. I've been living with him for a long time. That's why, even though I've wanted to see you for a long time, he wouldn't let me in, and he didn't lie to you like I was so angry." When she said so, Khan fully believed her and ordered Huhai Taihu to be killed without any interrogation"]: 41-42, 95-96; (cf.
