Amarbayasgalant stele
In accordance with an Imperial Decree issued by the Manchu Qing state in 1727, calling for a stupa to be erected to contain the relics of Öndör Gegeen Zanabazar, a temple was constructed at a location known as Iiven. This temple became Amarbayasgalant Monastery, located at the base of Büren Xan Mountain in Selenge aimag. The monastery was constructed with one hundred thousand lan of silver contributed by the Manchu Emperor and officials, on the orders that the temple should be as fancy as those constructed for the Panchen Lama and Dalai Lamas.
The construction of the temple was completed in 1736, whereupon it was given the name of "Amarbayasgalant" ("With Tranquillity and Happiness"). One year after the construction of the temple, the text of the decree conferring Amarbayasgalant Monastery on Zhavzandamba was inscribed on a stele installed at the monastery. This stele was placed within a small temple located between the eastern and western wings of the main Cogchin prayer temple. These temples eventually came to be known as the "history temples", as they contain two stelae recording the history of the establishment of Amarbayasgalant Monastery. The stele is made of granite and measures 3.5 metres in height.[1]
The text of the inscription states that with the taking of Beijing, through the forces of the Manchu Emperor and his soldiers, culture was made to flourish, then mentions the entry of Xalx and Oirad Mongolia into the authority of the Manchu, that Öndör Gegeen Zanabazar was received by the Emperor in the winter of 1722, and that the following year he passed away, and how much silver was spent in the construction of the monastery.[2]
