coins du Manas-sarovar portent les mêmes noms; elles sont marquées sur la grande carte de
l'empire chinois, dressée par ordre de Khian loung, et s'appellent:
Porte orientale Touigochal ou Tchouigochal
» méridionale Ghiou ourgou
» occidentale Arabko
» septentrionale Dadzaloung.»
In Ni-po-lo Nepal is easily recognised. North of this country Klaproth points
out Yaru Tsang bu ch'u, Yaru or Yere-tsangpo, which has no name on the map.
There can be no doubt about this, for at the upper part of the river we read the
words: Mu-lo-p'o San-po-ho-kuo,¹ possibly belonging to two different names of which
the last would mean: the kingdom of the river Sanpo. This would be in perfect
accordance with the situation of Ni-po-lo-kuo,¹ so much the more as a great part of
the river is represented as flowing between high mountains. Lo-hu-lo-kuo ¹ and
Ch'ju-lu-to-kuo may be Lahul and Kulu. Séng-ho-pu-lo-kuo ¹ corresponds well with
the Indus or Singi-tsangpo. Vivien de Saint-Martin also identifies the two first names
with Lahul and Kulu as given on Walker's map in Cunningham's »Ladak». In San-
po-ho, on the other hand, he recognises »beyond doubt» Champâka the Sanscrit form
of Chamba.²
In Stanislas Julien's work there is a reproduction of the Japanese map
published by Klaproth. Saint-Martin says of it that it gives a representation of
Mongolia and Tibet such as these countries were known to the Chinese before the
time of the French missionaries of the end of the 17th century to the middle of
the 18th century who furnished d'Anville with such important material.³
Between the Hwangho and Tsangpo very little room is left for the vast deserts
and mountains situated there. But that is the part of Asia which has so obstinately
remained a terra incognita. The ancients built up a mountain wall, Imaus etc.,
between India and Central Asia, that is to say they joined all the different systems
to one rather narrow system. Something of the same view seems to be included in
the following passage in the Si-yü-chi (Mémorial des contrées occidentales) as given
by Klaproth:
