It is a short story in verse recounting how
Ögelei (
Ögelen) gave birth to
Činggis in the open steppe while her husband
Yisügei was away engaged in battle. When
Ögelei washed the baby in the water of
River Onon, a clear white mist arose from the earth which was seen eveywhere
for three days. People in foreign countries understood that it was a heavenly
sign. Then, a disk emerged from the clouds which illuminated the world and
announced that a star had fallen onto the land of the Mongols. These ominous
signs made the people in
Shangdong run in
panic in all directions. From the day he was born,
Činggis caused the enemy armies to tremble with fear.
