CHAPTER IV.
WILFORD'S COMMENTS ON THE LAKES AND RIVERS OF
SOUTH-WESTERN TIBET.
Klaproth had no high opinion of Captain F. WILFORD and he was no doubt
right in saying that some of his deductions and theories were somewhat audacious.
In his long article on The Sacred Isles in the West ¹ there is, however, to
be found a great amount of valuable information about the two lakes and the rivers
supposed to rise from them, and as Wilford has taken great trouble to gather all
material existing at his time, or at the beginning of 1800, I think it necessary to
quote the more important passages of his article.
Of the Manasarovar he says: ²
»From Mána-Sarovara or, according to the vulgar pronunciation, Mánsaraur, the lake of
Mána or Mánasa, issues the Ganges. According to Pura'n-gir, who accompanied the late Lama
to China, and had seen that lake in his way from Lassa to Ládac, it is called in Tibet, Chu-
Mápanh, or the lake of Mápanh. In the Lamas' map it is called Mapama: but Pura'n-gir, a
well informed man, assured me that its true name was Mápanh. It was probably written at
first Mapam by Portuguese Jesuits, in whose language the letter M, at the end of a word, has
a nasal sound, as it had in Latin, and is to be sounded like the letter N at the end of a word
in French.»
After having tried to elucidate the confusion in the Purāṇas about Bindu-
Sarovara and Mána-Sarovara, Wilford continues:
»According to Pura'n-gir, this lake (Mápanh) is situated on an elevated plain covered
with long grass, to the north of which is a conical hill called Khyem-lung, and dedicated to
Mahá-deva; and which is inserted in the map of the Lamas, but without name, and with two
roads ending there. It is one of the southern peaks of mount Cantaisch,³ which rises above the
rest to an amazing height. A small stream, rising behind the subordinate peak of Khyem-lung,
is considered by pilgrims as the source of the Ganges. There ended the survey of the Lama
mathematicians; and the countries to the South, and South-West, were added afterwards, from
