               I bring offerings to the elder sister of tarni.
               I bring offerings to the servants with orange light.
                                           821
               At the time when the army goes  to the land of enemies,
               he wears on his head the helmet named Heliacal.
                                                          822
               he wears on his body the armour named Stone and ten thousand stars, [4r]
                                823
               the sword of sharp  steel named the Wisdom [sword] drawn on his shoulders.
               he draws and shoots fast arrows called Planets,  which do not let the enemies touch the bodies of
                                                          824
               their opponents, and at the end turn them to ashes.
                                                                        825
               Riding his fast horse named fast thunder, flying by the meat [!]  of lightning he takes livestock and
               properties of the enemies ….  [4v]
                                         826
               Protecting [your] own people, protect horses,
               protecting longevity, protect life,
               protecting my cloths, protect knives,
               protecting my armour, protect my helmet,
               protecting my saddle, protect my hobble.
               Be pleased to guide my horse at the time of horse racing
               Defeat and weaken the enemy horses.
               If men quarrel with me, [5r] make my human mind clear.
               Tangle the mind of the enemy and make them feeble-minded.
                               827
               Before the swords  of enemies, strike my sword [to the enemy bodies] and make it [strong like] steel.
                     828
               Soften  the enemy's swords.
               Repulse the enemies and punish them.
               Be pleased to fulfil whatever I intended in my mind.
               Be pleased to turn the obstacles of the enemies to ashes. [5v]
               Mercifully bring to success all the actions I perform. …

               Bring down ….
                             830

               collocation,  however  the  repeated  dögürüge  dögürüge/tögürüge  tögürüge  is  unclear.  Similarly,  möri  möri
               without a definite context can be interpreted either as mori “horse” or mör “way, path”. The following part of the
               sentence include more obvious words except g’aračuga (if not a nonstandard writing of qarčaγ-a “hawk”) and
               sün čerege (sün “milk”, čerege seems to be čerig “soldier, army”, but usually does not occur in this collocation);
               luus-un qubilγan-ača γaruγsan “originated from the reincarnation/emanation body of γaračuga-nāga/luus”.
               820  Tarni: a) Skt. dhāraṇī, Tib. gzungs “magic spells”, (longer) mantras, b) Tib. sngags generalized word for
               tantra.
               821  The text applies here the preclassical word čaγurl[a]qui occuring in Lu. Altan tobči fol. 87b21 basa boruqul
               noyan-i qorin tümed irgen-tür čuγurlaγulba [=čaγurlaγulba] (čerig mordaγulba): (quoted with notes in brackets
               from Чоймаа 2011: 205, čerig mordaγulba is the original interlinear note in the manuscript) “Also they sent lord
               Boruqul to lead army against the subjects of Qorin Tümed”.
               822  Qalaba or qalqaba (but the first reading is more plausible) might be the verb qalqalaba “to cover, to shield,
               to mask”.
               823  Stand. qurča “sharp”, but written uncommonly as quracan/qurazan, which also allows the hypothesis that
               alternatively the text might have intended “the sword made of Khorasan steel”. However, taking into account the
               nonstandard writing manners of the copyist (redundant sidü), the identification with qurča is more plausible.
               824  γ’araγ, Skt. graha planet (with its capability to influence the destinies of men), a general name for illnesses
               caused by the planets or other cosmic objects (particularly paralysis).
               825  Very uncommon and probably corrupted expression, yet the written word does not allow another reading.
               826  Two words before dayisun (“enemies”) unclear.
               827  Lit. knives (meses).
               828  Uyidq-a commonly means “be bored, weary”, but here means the weakening or softening of the steel swords.
               This meaning is attested in Oirat (Тодаева 2001: 351, “терять, лишаться чего-л.” баатариин күчин уйадаад
               иревәә “богатырь стал терять силы, слабеть”), even in the meaning “to melt” (Altai Uriankhai songs Xaruul
               altai-yin usun: gang tömör bayibačiki / γal-yin zali-du uyadanai … “Even steel softens/melts in the flame of
               fire”, Duuni emkidkel 2007: 957.)
               829  Unclear sentence. Tögerüge might be a nonstandard form of tögerige “going astray, having lost one’s way” or
                                                                                               st
               tögerge “destiny, fate”, but it is not sure how it connects to the pronoun nadur (dative-locative of 1  person sg.),
               törükü “to born”, ḍaγulju (conv. imperf.) supposedly a nonstandard form commonly written daγaγul- “to lead, to
               accompany”:  the meaning  seems  to  be  “May he lead birth of  me, the erratic one.”,  but it is expressed in an
               unusual manner.
