伯麟，字玉亭，瑚錫哈哩氏，滿洲正黃旗人。 Bolin, whose style was Yuting, belonged to the Huxihali clan and the Manchu Plain Yellow Banner.

伯麟以刀派功禍由自取，惟責暹羅繳所得印。 Bolin held that Dao Paigong had brought disaster on himself and only demanded that Siam return the captured seal.

伯麟知其與暹羅構兵，為求助地，卻之。 Bolin knew Burma was at war with Siam and only wanted help, so he refused.

後緬甸為戛於臘所敗，果來乞援，伯麟拒勿應，戛於臘旋亦敗走。 Later Burma was defeated by Gayaungla and did beg for aid. Bolin refused, and Gayaungla was soon defeated and driven off.

十三年，緬甸四大萬頭目來請十三板納地，伯麟責其冒昧，諭以十三板納為九龍江土司所轄，俱屬內地，毋生覬覦，詔嘉其得體。 In the thirteenth year Burma's four major chiefs asked for Shisanbanna. Bolin rebuked their presumption and told them Shisanbanna belonged to the Jiulongjiang native chief within imperial territory and must not be coveted. The emperor praised his handling.

至是復勾結倮眾侵擾，伯麟赴緬寧督土司會剿。 Now he colluded with Luo followers again and raided the border. Bolin went to Mienning to direct the native chiefs in a joint campaign.

二十二年，臨安邊外夷人高羅衣自稱窩泥王，偽署官職，糾眾萬餘，攻殺土目龍定國，擾瓦渣、溪處兩土司境，渡江窺伺內地，伯麟親往剿平之。 In the twenty-second year the frontier tribesman Gao Luoyi beyond Lin'an called himself King of the Woni, falsely appointed offices, gathered more than ten thousand followers, killed native officer Long Dingguo, raided the Wazha and Xichu chiefdoms, and crossed the river to threaten the interior. Bolin went in person and suppressed him.

敘功，加太子少保。 For his merit he was made Junior Guardian of the Heir Apparent.

尋命協辦大學士，仍留總督任。 He was soon made associate grand secretary while keeping the governorship.

二十五年，召授兵部尚書，兼都統。 In the twenty-fifth year he was recalled as minister of War with a concurrent banner command.

道光元年，拜體仁閣大學士，管理兵部。 In Daoguang 1 he became grand secretary of the Hall of Embodied Benevolence and headed the Ministry of War.
