Sanang Setzen is cited as a historian and chronicler of the Mongols, a source through whom the volume recalls the legacy of Chinghiz and the promise he saw in the young Kúblái. He is also associated with the account of Chinghiz’s burial and a lament composed in his memory. Though his own life remains outside the narrative, his work shapes how later generations understand Mongol history and succession.
