THE GENEALOGY OF THE SRA-SRA-MUN CHIEFS OF SIM-SA-MKHAR-BU CASTLE, ACCORDING TO THE TALE OF SAH-BAN OF KI-NO

The chief of Mkhar-bu called Sra-sra-mun came from Hunze-Nagar. After him

[came] Ser-'A-li. On Ser-'A-li [followed] Ta-yirns. After him [came] Si-lira. After

him [came] Plia-kyir (Faqir). After Pha-kyir, Bo-tries was born. After him [came]

Si-lim. After him [the line came to an end, and a daughter only, called Raj-Si-kim,

remained].

Then Sa-lam, the son of the forefather Hu-sen, [became Ráj -Si-kim's consort].

After Sa-lam [followed] Sah-ban, then 'Ab-dul-lá, then Go-lam.

went before her father and cried bitterly. Therefore the father asked her why she

cried so much ; and the girl said ` I cry because the Chinese will carry me off for

taxes '. Then the father (through the powers of religion) caused the Chinese king to

arrive [in Kashmir] at the time of dinner. [There] he wrote a letter to the effect that

the girl was not to be carried off, and the king returned to his own country.

In the time of the Chinese the Bo-dro-masjid of Kha-cul was erected. Then,

through a war, [a king] called Tsag arose. Then another one, called Tahi-mur, followed.

After him a king rose again out of our own midst, called Khri-Sul-tan. Then the duke

of the Skar-rdo-rock called ['A-li-Ser-Khan] arrived, and built a castle called Go-gen.

After him came the king of La-dvags, called Sar-lha-chen, and by [his] strong castle-
