Alan Gua's explanation for the conception of her three younger sons is the visit of a glittering visitor, who come through her yurt's roof opening each night and left each morning by crawling on the sun- or moonbeams "like a yellow dog". Her conclusion was that the younger sons must be children of heaven and that it was  inappropriate to compare them to ordinary people. Her older sons suspected that their family's Bayad servant was the likely father. She advised her five sons that if they tried to stay on their own, they would be broken like the five arrows. But if they stuck together like the bundle of five arrows, nothing could harm them.Erich Haenisch, Die Geheime Geschichte der Mongolen, Leipzig 1948, p. 1-3, 6-7 (sections 1-22, 43-50). Eleven generations: Sections 1-7. Nine generations: Sections 43-50. Alan Goa's life: Sections 5-22.
