Jasagh

A jasagh (Mongolian: ᠵᠠᠰᠠᠭ засаг; Manchu: ᠵᠠᠰᠠᡴ jasak; Chinese: 札薩克; lit. 'power,' 'authority'), or jasagh noyan (Mongolian: засаг ноён), was the head of a Mongol banner or khoshun during the Qing dynasty and the Bogd Khanate. The position was held by hereditary succession by certain Mongol princes or Taijis, most of whom were descendants of Genghis Khan. The princes who did not serve as Jasagh were known as sula (сул; 閒散 - lit. empty, idle) or hohi taiji (хохь тайж).
