As certain place-names, in particular Do-yo and Grog-po-rab-gsum, have not yet been traced on any map,
we do not yet know how far the agreement between the three accounts extends. A song on Zorawar's death
is found in my History of Western Tibet (p. 169).

Between Mgon-po, the steward [of He-mi], and the Tibetans an agreement was
made, and Mgon-po sent a secret letter to La-dvags : "The Wazīr is dead, and the
Tibetan army is reported in pursuit. Therefore, Upper and Lower [Ladakh], on all
sides, should be made ready for war." The astrologer Tshe-dbaṅ-rab-brtan was sent
in advance [with this letter]. Mgon-po himself intended to watch events, saying, p. 52
"The Tibetans will gather an army !"; and so he arrived later. Lha-bdag-Tshe-riṅ-
stobs-rgyas, the Wazīr's quartermaster, had to supply the garrison of the castle of
La-dvags and the Si-pas with food, grass, and wood. When the Wazīr was dead,
and no grass or wood arrived from Upper and Lower Ladakh, he said to the Kumīdan
and Magna, the Thanadār : "I am not sure whether grass and wood will arrive ! It
looks like a rebellion. I do not know what will happen !" Then these two became
reflective also. They sent a petition to the Ser-kar [Jammu], and asked for an army. In
accordance with what had been said [before] Mgon-po, the steward, and the noblemen
of Gśam (Lower Ladakh) held a consultation. During winter, they equipped an army ;
and in the spring they sent the hosts from Upper and Lower Ladakh, Sbal-ti, Kha-pul,
and Ldum-ra [to Leh]. A Tibetan captain of the archers, 100 cavalry, and 500 infantry
were posted at Lce-ḅbre. Then the Ladakhi army surrounded both the Ki-la and
the Cha-ḅon, and threw up entrenchments. Then they fought for twelve days without
intermission. (Ca MS.) In the Ki-la there were 50 Siṅ-pas under Magna, the
Thanadār ; in the Cha-ḅon there were 300 Pal-tan Si-pas under a Kumīdan. (Cc MS.)
