254 ANTIQUITIES OF WESTERN TIBET [VOL. II
The father-king and Ban-kha-pa both died at Skar-rdo. Their corpses were brought
to Tog, where they were cremated. Then the Wa-zir took out of the castle of Skar-rdo
the whole treasure that there existed, and went to Slel. He remained for a winter
in La-dvags.
In the second month of spring some soldiers were sent over the whole country
on account of a war to be undertaken against Byaii-than. All people had to carry loads
and were taken along [with the army]. About 6,000 [men] arrived from Kha-cul
as reinforcements of the Sin-pa army. They had thirty cannons with them. Then
[more] men were gathered from La-dvags, Sbal-ti-yul, Pu-rig, Ldum-ra, and all direc-
tions ; and when about 12,000 soldiers were assembled, they were led to Byan-than.
Every villager was made responsible for the transport of five khal (150 pounds). Then
they arrived at Ru-thog. Without fighting they carried off all the riches that existed
at Ru-thog and sent them to La-dvags. Then they arrived at Grog-po-rab-gsum,
where the Tibetan army made its appearance. Then the Sin-pas held a council with
the Ladakhis [as follows] : ` We will dam up the water of the brook ! ' ; and they
dammed up the water of the brook. Then the whole Tibetan army went back for a
day's journey, and the army of the Sin-pas followed them (marched also). In the
upper part of Grog-po-rab-gsum, the Sin-pa-Ladakhi army, as well as the Tibetan army,
made their camps and remained there. During one night much hail came down from
the sky. When it dawned, the Sin-pas, who had only little clothing on them, sank
under the hail, and many Sin-pas died. When the sun rose above the summits, the
Tibetans and the Sin-pas fought a great battle. About noon Zo-ra-war was hit by
a Tibetan bullet. He fell from his horse and died. The Tibetan soldiers cut Zo-ra-war's
corpse (flesh) to pieces and carried it off. They cut off Zo-ra-war's head and sent it
to Hjam-hbu (Jammu). Then the Tibetans seized many Sin-pas and took them to Tibet.
A Tibetan of high rank, named Zib-bcod, made an agreement with the Sin-pas :
` What has been done on both sides should not be spoken of again. The biennial trade
(lo-phyag) is to be continued as formerly.' After this letter of agreement was duly.
written, the Sin-pa army went to La-dvags, and the Tibetan army to Tibet.
After three months had elapsed, De-wan Ha-ri-cand and Wa-zir Ra-tun, these two
generals, came from Kha-cul into Tibet, leading 8,000 Sin-pa soldiers. They arrived
at Slel in the fifth month. Then a call to arms was issued to La-dvags, Ldurn-ra,
Sbal-ti-yul, and Pu-rig. The peasants were taken to do transport work, and the
noblemen to serve as warriors. Some Tibetan soldiers, who had arrived at the
Lcem-hbre castle, were deprived of their water supply in the castle [and the castle
was conquered]. Several Sin-pa soldiers were left stationed there. The De-wan and
many Sin-pas pursued the Tibetan army. They caught them at Chu-Sul. Some
Tibetans were killed, others were seized and carried off. Ra-ga-sa, the Tibetan general,
was also seized. They said : ` It is in reply to their having killed Wa-zir Zo-ra-war
first ! ', and severed his neck with a sword. Then the Tibetans were beaten. All
the customs of the former kings of La-dvags were re-established. Those Sin-pas
who had been made prisoners in the preceding year, when Zo-ra-war died, were
