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."
