marched across the Sod pass. He pursued those 100 Si-pas and caught them at
Bhatura. He killed them all, not leaving a single one. Carrying away the treasure, as
much as he found, he fled to Skar-rdo. Then, in course of time, the Wazir [Zorawar]
arrived at Bab-sgo. The king of Slel (Leh) went there also, and both met. All went
to Slel, the capital, and there they remained for several days. The kingdom was
returned to the king, and not a single Si-pa or other man was placed in the fort as
a guard. It was arranged that 5,000 Rs. should be paid uninterruptedly as tribute to
the [Jammu] government. Then [Zorawar] returned to Su-ru.

NOTES

Place-names:—Man-kira-baḥi stands for Mandre and Waran, as I am told. Sa-phul seems to be the name
of the territory on the Manasarowar Lake, which remained in the hands of the Ladakhi kings after the peace
of Gṭuṅ-sgaṅ. Laṅ-mkhar-rtse is a town in the Suru valley, below Dkar-rtse. La-luṅ-bsil-mo seems to be the
valley of a small tributary of the Indus from the left; it falls into the Indus opposite to Chulichan. (Map:
Laloo–Simool.) Bya-luṅ or Bya-ruṅ is the name of a house at Leh. Srin-po-sna-hgegs (sna-khuṅ) is the
name of a rock in the Suru valley, as I am told. The Sod pass is probably identical with the Hamoting pass.
Gu-lo-ri = Kahlur, Bilaspur, the home of Zorawar in the Panjab.

With the above account of the campaign the accounts of Basti-Rām and Tshe-brtan of Kha-la-rtse should
be compared. Basti-Rām, a Dogra officer and governor of Leh, wrote his reminiscences of this war at
the request of Cunningham, who published them in his Ladak (pp. 332 sqq.). All the numbers given by
Basti-Rām are evidently wrong, either exaggerated or diminished. But the general course of events seems
to be accurate. Both accounts are to be found in the Minor Chronicles (infra).
