Kut (mythology)
According to the Turkic belief kut/qut meaning ‘blessing’ or ‘fortune,’ is a kind of force vitalizing the body.
Through kut, humans are connected with the Heavens. Also the sacred ruler is believed to be endowed with much more kut than other people. Thus the Heaven would’ve appointed him as the legitimate ruler.
The Turkic khagans claimed that they were “heaven-like, heaven conceived” & possessed kut. This was a sign of the Mandate of Heaven to rule.
Rulers of the Qocho were entitled idiqut ‘sacred good fortune’ in Old Uyghur. It also existed in Mongols as suu. It was believed that if the ruler had lost their qut, they could be dethroned & killed. This had to be done without shredding his/their blood. This was done usually by strangling with a silk cord. This custom (of strangling) continued among the Ottomans.
The Ottomans also continued this tradition by re-expressing the “ruler’s heavenly mandate” (kut) into Irano-Islamic terms with titles like “shadow of God on earth” (zill Allah fi’l-alem) & “caliph of the face of the earth (halife-i ru-yi zemin).
Kutlug is a frequently used & well-known personal Uyghur name. It was also the name of first rulers of the Second Turkic Khaganate Ilterish Qaghan, & the Uyghur Khaganate, Kutlug I Bilge Kagan.
