OP, just letting you know, the only primary source on the Mongols, written by the Mongols, is this - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Secret_History_of_the_Mongols

The quote you've quoted is not anywhere in it. It's a fiction (though funny/ironic) written by white people in Europe.

I will peruse your link. I suspected the quote might have been embroidered in translation or even made up, like so many other quotes. There's no need to delete your username since I am not irritated in the least but glad for the reactions.
