Later, Yesiwo wanted to invite the Bangladeshi monk Atisha to preach in Ngari. In order to raise the bride price, Yixiwo went to war and searched for gold. When he led his troops to the Galuo Kingdom to plunder, he was defeated and captured. The king of the Galuo Kingdom claimed that Yisiwo's body weight in gold could be redeemed. Yesiwo refused to be redeemed and asked his descendants to save their gold to welcome Atisha. After Atisha heard about it, he was deeply moved and decided to go to Tibet to promote Buddhism.
