inscriptions which show the name in the genitive case (as for instance the present inscription). In that respect they
follow the example of Indian inscriptions of a similar type, such as have been discovered near Khalatse, Ladakh.
They are written in ancient Brāhmi, Kharoṣṭhi, and Śāradā. At first the Tibetans followed the Indians as regards
the use of the cases.
The records are generally accompanied by representations of the particular Stūpas. The present design
belongs to a group which remind us of Christian crosses. The most striking example of the cross-type was
published by me in my article 'Notes on Rock-carvings', Indian Antiquary, vol. xxxi, 1902, p. 398, Plate VIII,
as shown below :
The above inscription is of great importance, as it testifies to the conquest of Gilgit by Tibetans in the 8th
century. This event is mentioned in the La-dvags-rgyal-rabs, as having taken place under Khri-sroṅ-lde-btsan
in the 8th century, Gilgit being called by its Tibetan name 'aBru-shal ; cf. Ancient Khotan, i. pp. 8 sqq.;
Serindia, i. pp. 52 sqq.
