 | | Tengri gives Khagan to his people, and punishes those who sinned against Khagan, `instructing the Khagan, attends to state and military affairs'.2 Crimes or offences against their Khagan were punished by Tengri (or by His will), for He gave the authority to Khagan. |
| | The forswearers swearing by Tengri were subject to a heavy punishment by Him; as was punished disobedience to Khagan, let alone attempts to overthrow him, switch to the enemy side, etc. Because Khagans usually lived in harmony with Tengri and were set on the throne by Him. |
| | After the ritual of revering Tengri and treating of mountains and rivers, they ate the meat of the lamb, drank araka, and burnt on the first fire the meat of the sacrificed lamb, together with guts, skin and bones, until nothing was left. |
