Cunningham obtained from different people, namely, »that the Garo river is the
Singgé-chhu or Indus, and that there is no great eastern branch«.¹ We know that
this view is a great mistake, for the river of Garo is Garchung or Gartang and the
»great eastern branch« is the Singi-kabab. Cunningham believes that this eastern
branch entirely owes its existence to Gérard, who could only account for the two
names of Higong-chu and Singgé-chhu by supposing them to belong to different
streams. Previous to Moorcroft's travels, he says, an eastern branch had been in-
serted on the maps, but afterwards Arrowsmith represented it by a dotted line.
He is positive in giving the exact place of the source of the Indus: »Accord-
ing to my information, the true source of the Indus lies to the north-west of the
holy lakes of Manasarovara and Rawan Hrad, in the south-western slopes of the
Gangri or Kailâs mountain, in latitude north 31° 20', and east longitud 80° 30'.
Calculating the discharge he also proves that no large stream can join the Garo river
above Rânak.
As to the Satlej, whose name in the hills is Satludr or Satrudr, he has the
following passage, which proves that he was clear-sighted enough to believe in and
understand the important discoveries of the Stracheys:² »The rise of the Sutlej in
the holy lakes of Manasarovara and Rawan-Hrad has been satisfactorily ascertained
by the adventurous journeys of Captain H. Strachey and Lieut. R. Strachey. The
most remote sources of the Sutlej are the eastern feeders of the holy lakes, in N.
lat. 30° 35', and E. long. 81° 35'. Numerous small streams flow from all sides into
the great lake of Manasarovara, which overflows at its N. W. corner into the lake of
Rawan-Hrad.« The Tibetan name for the Manasarovar he gives as Tsho-Máphan.³
A splendid map by JOHN WALKER adorns his book. On it the N. E. branch
of the Indus is called »Senge Khabap or Indus R« which is correct but not in har-
mony with the text.
ADOLPH and ROBERT SCHLAGINTWEIT reached Ngari-khorsum in 1855. They
had no opportunity to proceed to Tibet Proper but gathered much information about
it from natives in Sikkim, Nepal, Ladak and Ngari, as well as from British Pundits and
French missionaries at Bonga and Tse-jrong.⁴ HERMANN VON SCHLAGINTWEIT
tells us that the Pundit (NAIN SING) went to the sources of the Dihong and found
that Maryum-la was the watershed between Satlej-Indus and Dihong. The sources
of the Indus he calculates at a height of 16,000 feet on an average, but on his map
the N. E. branch is not marked at all, in which he agrees with Cunningham's text,
