Amongst other omens, the head of the embalmed body of the thirteenth Dalai Lama, at first facing south-east, had turned to face the north-east, indicating, it was interpreted, the direction in which his successor would be found.
Dise que, entre outros presaxios, a cabeza do corpo embalsamado do 13º Dalai Lama, que primeiro miraba ao sueste, misteriosamente virouse ao nordeste -que indica a dirección na que se deberá atopar o seu sucesor.
