The poem presented here is found in many versions of the Altan Bičig, as the core of the prayer recited at various ceremonies held at the Činggis Qan Shrine, specifically at the Eight White Tents. We know from the colophone notes in manuscript L that it is the 'Lesser Öčig' (Baġ-a Öčig). However, the first eight stanzas of this poem is also included in the Ĵulaġ ceremony text from Ĵüngġar (manuscript J). In the T and K manuscripts, ... The L manuscript, which was actively used for ceremonies by an officiant, marks the end of the text after §19. Other more "complete" witnesses have several more stanzas of "request" type verses.
