Oguz Han then said to his six son and twenty-four grandchildren:

“Oh my sons! Give me an arrow.”

He was given an arrow. Oguz Han took the arrow in his hand and broke it. Then he said to two of his sons:

“Oh my sons! Give me two arrows.”

He was given two arrows. He broke them again. Then he took three arrows from thee more of his sons, held them together and broke them as well. Next, he took six arrows from six of them and he tried to break all six arrows at the same time. He failed. Oguz Han then requested twenty-four arrows, one from each of his grandsons and tied the arrows together. Then to his children he said:

‘Try with your all your will and might to break all these together. Are you able to do this?

His sons replied:

“We cannot break all these arrows.”

Oguz Han said:

 “Take a lesson from this example and support each other. According to my wish, following my death Gün should be your new Han. After him his son Gaýa should be your new Han. As long as there is a Han from Gaýa’s tribe, Baýat should not be your Han. Baýat should only be the ruler of his tribe. As long as Gaýa is the Han, Baýat should be the ruler of the right part of our land. The ruler of the left part of our land should be Baýyndyr. Follow these arrangements; do not take the younger brother as your leader as long as the elder brother lives. Gaýa Han can be the Han of all of the twelve tribes to the right and left.
