Daichsun Tngri, also known as Dayisud Tngri and Dayičin Tngri, is a Mongolian war god "of a protective function" [1] to whom captured enemies were sometimes sacrificed. [2] One of the equestrian deities within the Mongolian pantheon of 99 tngri, Dayisun Tngri may appear as a mounted warrior. [2] Some of his characteristics may be the result of the "syncretistic influence of Lamaism" ( Tibetan Buddhism); the 5th Dalai Lama composed invocations to this deity. [2]
