11. Zorawar goes back to Suru, by way of Sod.

On the whole, the agreement between the three versions is all that could be desired. The only difficulty is the conquest of Pas-kyum, followed by an attack of Baii-kha-pa, which in Basti-Ram's account (see his Nos. 3 and 5) is placed before the battle of Laii-mkhar-rtse, and in the Rgyal-rabs after that battle (see No. 8). Possibly Pas-kyum was conquered twice.

Then Ban-kha-pa and Bsod-Hams-dban -phyug became chief councillors and gave the bad advice that an army should be sent after the Wazir [Zorawar]. A si-pa [called] Dam-bha and several others who did not wish the king well sent a secret letter to the Wazir. At Raii-hdum this letter reached the Wazir's hands, and he, passing through Zains-dkar, reached Sle [again]. He turned the king out of the castle and gave orders that [the village of] Tog only was to provide him with provisions, wheat, and butter for

>• 50. food, and with grass, wood, etc. He also assigned [to the king] a jagir of 1,159 Rs. 114 as. and established him there. Prince Tshe-dban-rab-brtan fled to Spi-ti, passing through Ldum-ra and Dran-tse. (Ca MS.) After having stayed there for one or two months, Mchog-sprul died. (Cc MS.) Raja Dnios-grub-bstan-hdzin was elected viceroy. At Kara (Dgar-ba) a Ki-la (Qila) was erected and handed over to Magna, the Tha-na-där. It was agreed that an annual tribute of 9,000 Rs. was to be paid to the [Jammu] Government. The Wazir [Zorawar] then returned [to Jammu, travelling] through Zin-spyan. (C MS.) To Queen Zi-zi (Mchog-sprul's wife) a son was born, whose name was (Cc MS.) Hjigs-fined-chos-kyi-sen-ge-mi-h_gyur-kun-dgah-rnam-rgyal. ( C MS.) To another Zi-zi was born (Cc MS.) Bstan-srun-gyul-rgyal, who became king of Main-spro. They also received a jagir of 507 Rs. 124 as., together with wheat, butter, grass, wood, etc. Then Raja Dnos-grub-bstan-hdzin reigned for five years.

11. Zorawar goes back.

NOTES

Raii-hdum is a monastery on the road from the Suru valley to Zaiis-dkar. Ka-ra (Dgar-ba, Skara) is a village one mile below Leh. Ziii-spyan is said to be a village on the Zaiis-dkar River near Phyi-gliii. 11laii-spro is a village on the left bank of the Indus, immediately above He-mis. It is still the residence of Bstan-srun-gyul-rgyal's descendants.
