Abstract
In the original language
The lineage of Narobančen was one of the tulku lineages officially recognized by the Qing court. Presiding over a monastery and banner in the 19th and early 20th centuries located on the border of the Jasagt xan and Sain noyon aimags, Narobančen xutagts also established close ties to entities in the Khovd area (especially to the imperial monastery Šar süm). The local oral traditions of the Altai Uriankhai in Bulgan district, Bayan-Ölgii province, and Mönxxairxan district, Khovd province, provide a diverse complex of narratives regarding the birth of one of the reincarnations of Narobančen xutagts, who was allegedly sold to Chinese traders in his childhood. Although it is not possible to reliably identify in written sources the connections that would correspond to this strong local oral tradition, this contribution will present the Altai Uriankhai narratives about Narobančen gegeen as a significant part of the local history-related oral tradition.
