The whole aspect of the river, and its meridional running in long bends is rather
good. We find Taklakot on the left bank, not as now on the right one. The
Gagra of Tieffenthaler is in its upper parts called Map-chu, lower down Karnali,
Kauriala.
Ritter has no high opinion of the maps drawn by natives. ¹
But when he says that now (1833), as we know the real hydrography of the
place, it is easy to explain the mistakes of the Lama map and the Hindu map
of Tieffenthaler, he is wrong and too much influenced by Moorcroft. Ritter could
not know that although the Lama map was quite a different thing than Moorcroft's
map, both were perfectly correct, depending on the periodical changes taking place
in precipitation. And still he suspects the possibility of a periodicity.
The big map of the Jesuit Father has the following title: Carte Générale du
Cours du Gange et du Gagra, dressée sur les Cartes particulières du P. Tieffen-
thaler . . . Par M. Anquetil du Perron, Paris 1784.
Anquetil du Perron has only digested the material brought home by Tief-
fenthaler, and as the material is provided by ordinary pilgrims, and the two Europ-
ean scholars have never been to the place, the result cannot be expected to
be particularly good. On Fig. III (Pl. LII) we read the legend: »Calqué sur
l'Original fait par un Indien». I will now try to show that this map, made by a
Hindu, in spite of its terrible errors, is still an important and valuable document.
The Hindu has written some explanations in Persian, and Anquetil has added some
observanda of his own.
Beginning from the east, we find a big river issuing from the Mansaroar, and
the following Persian words written along it: Dariaï taraf Neipal raftéh, or the river
that goes in the direction of Nepal. And Anquetil du Perron adds: »It is said
that the Brahmaputra, which goes to Ascham and Rangamati, issues from this lake».
The Lama explorers would never have made themselves guilty of such a grave
error. The Indian explorer of Tieffenthaler or his predecessor in Akbar's time
has wandered round the lake close to the water's edge, for the pilgrims keep as
near as possible to the brim of the sacred lake; so he has seen and crossed all the
