CHAPTER XV.
ALEXANDER CUNNINGHAM, THE SCHLAGINTWEITS,
AND OTHERS.
In this chapter I have brought together some information about the lakes and
their surroundings, dating from the period between the journeys of the Stracheys
and the journeys of Montgomerie's Pundits. Most of this information depends upon
compilation or reports by natives, and only a few, rather meagre narratives are
founded upon autoptic observation.
In his famous book on Ladak,¹ Sir ALEXANDER CUNNINGHAM pays some atten-
tion to the region in question. He defines Ngari as embracing the whole of the
upper valley of the Satlej from the Manasarovar to the crest of the Porgyal, and he
subdivides it into three districts: Gugé, Gangri, and Purang. Curiously enough all
his informants agreed that the Garo river was the Singgé-chu or Indus and that
the N. E. branch was a mere tributary. By this he places the source of the Indus
south of his Gangri range, which, he says, consists chiefly of clay-slate, gneiss and
granite.
In chapter IV² he deals with the rivers which spring from the mountains
round the Manasarovar: the Indus, Satlej, Gogra and Brahmaputra, or Singge-kha-
bab, the Lion's mouth, Langchen-kha-bab, the elephant's mouth, Macha-kha-bab, the
peacock's mouth, and Ta-chhog-kha-bab, the horse's mouth. Ta-chhog is the name
of Sakya's steed and means »the best horse«. The fable of the animals' mouths he
explains as being of Indian origin, as the Tibetans know elephants and pea-fowls
only by pictures, and because the source of the Brahmaputra, »or river of Lhasa«,
is ascribed to Ta-chhog, the holy steed of Shakya Thubba, or Buddha.
He finds it strange that the question about the real source of the Indus could
by some still be regarded as an unsettled point, notwithstanding the distinct and
explicit statement of Moorcroft, whose information agreed exactly with that which
