Sartuul, a horse herder of the Obootin Khüree monastery, used to pasture his herds in the Salbur and Deluun Mountains during winter and the Serekh Mountains during spring. One day, as he moved to the Serekh Mountains from his winter pasture, he observed that all his tasks, including catching a horse, making fire, and cooking, were effortlessly accomplished by an unseen figure. Living this seemingly easy life, he began to question whether this entity was Buddha, a human, or perhaps a ghost. Despite the continual assistance from the unseen figure, Sartuul hesitated to continue living it its presence. Doubtful and curious, he decided to consult the lamas at the Obootin Khüree monastery about his situation. Intriguingly, the unseen creature started speaking to him when he planned to journey to the monastery to rid himself of this peculiar existence. It identified itself as the deity of the Serekh Mountains, promising to grant anything he desired without harm if he refrained from revealing the deity’s existence to the lamas. Seeing that Sartuul had stubbornly proceeded with his decision, unconvinced by the good deeds that the deity had done for him, the deity made one final request: to burn dried dog faeces before approaching the monastery. By the time Sartuul recounted his story to the lamas in the monastery, his life had ended abruptly, without any apparent symptoms. Locals Torghuts view this incident as a sign that Sartuul did not have the fortune to live under the protection of the associated deity.
