他日軍甯江，駐高阜，撒改仰見太祖體如喬松，所乘馬如岡阜之大，太祖亦視撒改人馬異常，撒改因白所見，太祖喜曰：「此吉兆也。」 Another day, campaigning at Ningjiang, they halted on a high mound; Sacai looking up saw the Founder Ancestor's body like a towering pine, his mount like a hill-crest in scale; the Founder Ancestor also saw Sacai's horse and men extraordinary. Sacai told what he had seen; the Founder Ancestor rejoiced: "This is a lucky sign."
