〈（磨魯古）〉 (Morlugu)〉

子磨魯古。 His son was Morlugu.

磨魯古，字遙隱，有智識，善射。 Morlugu, styled Yaoyin, was intelligent and discerning and a fine archer.

磨魯古為前鋒，手中流矢，拔而復進。 Morlugu led the vanguard. A stray arrow struck his hand; he pulled it free and pressed on.

太后既至，磨魯古以創不能戰，與北府宰相蕭繼先巡邏境上。 Once the empress dowager arrived, Morlugu, too wounded to fight, joined Northern Chancellery Chancellor Xiao Jixian in patrolling the frontier.
