XVII. The Services of Bsod-nams-bstan-hdzin, minister of Snon-dar in Ldum-ra,

according to the tale of King Tshe-dpal-mi-hgyur-Don-grub-rnam-rgyal

PREFACE

The original of the following document was discovered at Leh in 1915 by

Joseph Tshe-brtan, and sold to Sir John Marshall, together with a number of other

documents of more or less importance. It is No. 46 of Joseph Tshe-brtan's Second

Collection of Tibetan decrees.

The document contains a grant of land by the king to his faithful minister. The

second part therefore furnishes a list of estates given to the minister. In the first part

King Tshe-dpal tells a tale of the minister's services. It comprises several expeditions

against Baltistan ; and, as the names of several Balti chiefs are given, it has for our

study of Balti history a value similar to that of the document containing the services

of Tshul-khrims-rdo-rje, according to the tale of King Bde-skyon-rnam-rgyal. See

the latter (pp. 228 sqq.).
