TRANSLATION

In order to tell clearly the services rendered [by Tshul-khrims-rdo-rje], and in

accordance with the authorities (? ), let us tell them as if the voices of

Kinnaras were mingled with the beautiful sounds of the Tambura (drum). You all

must lend an attentive ear, and enjoy [the tale] !—When this Tshul-khrims-rdo-rje

had reached his sixteenth year, he went with Bsod-nams-lhun-grub to Kha-bu-lo.

As the first of his services, on the occasion when Bha-bha Ha-tham-mkhan, father

and son, were seized, he worked with intelligence, not regarding day or night, in the

manner of an enemy [of the Baltis]. To relate summarily, an advantage ensued for

our country.

In the Wood-Sheep year (c. 1715 A.D.), when we, the exalted father and son,

went off to carry war to Pa-skyum, Tshul-khrims (generally ?) went to battle upon a

night alarm. Not regarding night or day, he achieved an advantage for us within no time.

In the Fire-Monkey year (c. 1716 A.D.), when there was an inner disagreement (?)

with Hdab-lad-mkhan, when [the chief of] Si-sgar summoned an army, when Sa-gli n.

castle was seized, and when they came to Bha-bha (= Ha-tham-mkhan) in distress, he

went there together with Bsod-nams-lhun-grub. And, when Hdab-lad-mkhan was

brought down from Sa-glin castle, [they gave] military advice and assistance in general.

Through Bsod-nams-lhun-grub's clever (?) tongue all was brought to a quick end.
