«In Asia there will be a great State from the Pacific and Indian Oceans to the shore of the Volga. The wise religion of Buddha shall run to the north and the west. It will be the victory of the spirit. A conqueror and leader will appear stronger and more stalwart than Chinggis Khan and Ögedai. He will be more clever and more merciful than Sultan Babür and he will keep power in his hands until the happy day when, from his subterranean capital, shall emerge the King of the World.»
