錫圖庫，烏扎拉氏，滿洲正白旗人，世居烏拉。 Xitu Ku, of the Ujala clan, belonged to the Plain White Banner and was a native of Wula.

卒，錫圖庫嗣，授牛錄額真，兼巴牙喇甲喇章京。 On his death Xitu Ku succeeded him as company commander and bayara jalan colonel.

天聰四年，師克永平，錫圖庫與甲喇額真圖魯什等率兵循徼，得邏卒二、馬十七。 In Tiancong 4, after Yongping fell, he patrolled with Jalan Commander Turusi and took two Ming scouts and seventeen horses.

上伐明，圍大凌河城，敗錦州援兵，錫圖庫皆有功。 In the Ming campaign, the siege of Dalinghe, and the defeat of Jinzhou's relief force, he won merit throughout.

崇德元年，睿親王多爾袞率師伐明，攻寧遠，錫圖庫以二十人前驅，至中後所及山海關外诇敵，屢得邏卒，並獲其馬，又於前屯衛設伏敗敵。 In Chongde 1, as Prince Rui Dorgon besieged Ningyuan, he led twenty men ahead to scout as far as Zhonghousuo and beyond Shanhaiguan, repeatedly took Ming scouts and their horses, and ambushed the enemy at Qiantunwei.

喀木尼堪部葉類等盜科爾沁諸部馬叛走，錫圖庫率巴牙喇壯達八人詣寧古塔，與梅勒額真吳巴海督兵追之。 When Yelei of the Kamniikan band stole Khorchin horses and fled, Xitu Ku took eight bayara officers to Ningguta and pursued with Commander Wubahai.

時自成猶據陝西，師自潼關、綏德南北兩路入，錫圖庫率師與北路軍會，敗賊延安。 While Zicheng still held Shaanxi, the army entered by Tongguan and Suide; Xitu Ku joined the northern column and defeated the rebels at Yan'an.

自成走入湖廣，鍚圖庫移兵從之，自安陸至於荊門，屢擊敗自成兵。 When Zicheng fled into Huguang, Xitu Ku followed from Anlu to Jingmen and repeatedly defeated his forces.

六年，師次長沙，錫圖庫從左翼巴牙喇纛章京努三率兵前驅，攻湘潭。 In the sixth year, as the army halted at Changsha, he advanced with Nusan of the left wing against Xiangtan.

努三軍北門，錫圖庫軍西門，遂克之。 Nusan struck the north gate and Xitu Ku the west, and the city fell.

八年春，吳拜、羅什、博爾輝等訐英親王阿濟格將謀亂，鞫實，錫圖庫坐與謀，誅死，籍其家。 In the spring of the eighth year Wubai, Roshi, and Boerhui exposed Prince Ying Ajige's plot; Xitu Ku was found complicit, executed, and his estate seized.

錫圖庫、博爾輝亦久從征戰有勞。 Xitu Ku and Boerhui too had long followed campaigns with merit.

錫圖庫之誅，博爾輝等發之：轉相排軋，同就誅夷。 Xitu Ku's execution was exposed by Boerhui and others: each denouncing the other, they all went to execution together.
