子昆莫新生，傅父布就翕侯抱亡置草中，為求食，還，見狼乳之，又烏銜肉翔其旁，以為神，遂持歸匈奴，單于愛養之。 The infant Kunmo was carried off by his nurse-father Bu-jiu the Xihou, hidden in the grass while food was sought; returning, the man found a wolf nursing the child and crows dropping meat nearby. Convinced the boy was spirit-touched, he brought him to the chanyu, who reared him with favor.
