Alan Gua

(That is, the Dörvöd are said to have been the descendants of Alan Gua's brother-in-law, Duva Sokhor [mn], and the origins of the Khori-Tumed [ru] and Uriankhai are not explained at all.)

[1] The Secret History says that Alan Gua's clan was originally from the area of the Khori-Tumed [ru], and moved to the Burkhan Khaldun when their hunting grounds were fenced off.

Alan Gua had two sons (Begünütei and Belgünütei) during the lifetime of Dobun Mergen, and three more (Bukha Khatagi, Bukhatu-Salji and Bodonchar Munkhag) after her husband's death.

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".

A statue of her, three metres high, has been erected at the river in 1992, at the confluence with the Khökhöö gol and twelve kilometres from the center of Chandmani-Öndör sum.
