XIV. Account of the Trade between the Kings of Ladakh and Kulū

When stationed at Kye-laṅ as a missionary (1906–8), I heard that a man was still alive in Kyor (Lahul) who in his younger days had done service in the trade between the kings of Ladakh and Kulū. He was named Drun-drub (Don-grub), of the house Myoṅ-pa of Kyor. I sent my munshii, Bzod-pa-Bde-chen, to him to write down the tale of the trade according to his dictation. Bzod-pa's MS. consisted of three pages of Bu-nan text, written in Tibetan characters. The orthography employed is the same as that which we used for our translation of St. Mark. The Bu-nan text of the 'tale of the trade' was published without a translation in my collection Die mythologischen und historischen Erinnerungen der Lahouler, under No. 9. Of this collection only forty copies were printed at Kye-laṅ.
