《元史·列传·卷三十六》
太祖闻知，对留哥道： 你不要以失其部众而忧伤，朕加倍给你，草青马肥，还给你甲兵，去领取就是。 
事闻，帝谕留哥曰： 尔毋以失众为忧，朕倍此数封汝无吝也。草青马肥，资尔甲兵，往取家孥。 
When Taizu heard the news, he said to Yelu Dashi, "Do not be sad about losing your people. I will give you more. When the grass is green and the horses are fat, I will give you armor and weapons. Just go and get them."
