CHAPTER XII.

THE SHUI-TAO-TI-KANG ON THE SOURCE OF THE
BRAHMAPUTRA AND THE SATLEJ.

In the *Shui-tao-ti-kang* or *Outlines of Hydrography*, Book 22nd, compiled
by CHI CHAO NAN in the 26th year of Emperor CHIEN LUNG (1762 A. D.), we find
the following description of the source of the Brahmaputra, which was translated for
me by Professor OGAWA during my stay at Kyoto.¹ Under the heading: »*Waters
of Hsi-tsang*» or Tibet, the author says:
»The *Ya-lu-ts'ang-pu-chiang* is the *Ta-chin-sha-chiang* (= Great Gold Sand
River). It is supposed by some geographers to be the *Pa-pu-chuan* of olden times.
Some consider it to be the *Hei-shui* (= Black Water) in *Yu-kung*, but it is too
far situated. Its sources come out from *Ta-mu-chu-ko-k'a-pa-pu-shan*² standing at
a distance more than 340 li northwest of *Cho-shu-tê*³ tribes in the western frontier
of *Tsang*. [The north-western part of the mountain is near the source of the Lake
*Ma-piu-mu-ta-la*⁴ in the *Lang-ch'ien-k'a-pu-pa-shan*.⁵ This mountain (*Ta-mu-
chuk-k'a-pa-pu-shan*) is situated 300 li S.E. of *Kang-ti-ssu-shan* (Kailas Moun-
tain). The mountain is very high and great, and its form resembles a horse, whence
it is named. The source of the *Ya-lu-tsang-pu-chiang*⁶ is 35° W. (of Peking) and
(the altitude of the north) Pole 29°.]⁷ There are three sources, all of which flow
north-eastwards and unite into one river. The river flows at first turning eastwards,
then south-eastwards for more than 200 li. A stream of fore mountains of *Ku-mu-
kang* comes from S.W. to meet the river. The river now turning to the north-
east for 100 li, receives the *Chiang-chia-su-mu-la-ho* which flows south-eastwards from
