by way of Sod.

On the whole, the agreement between the three versions is all that could be desired. The only difficulty
is the conquest of Pas-kyum, followed by an attack of Bañ-kha-pa, which in Basti-Rām's account (see his
Nos. 3 and 5) is placed before the battle of Lan-mkhar-rtse, and in the Rgyal-rabs after that battle (see No. 8).
Possibly Pas-kyum was conquered twice.

Then Bañ-kha-pa and Bsod-nams-dban-phyug became chief councillors and gave
the bad advice that an army should be sent after the Wazīr [Zorawar]. A si-pa [called]
Dam-bha and several others who did not wish the king well sent a secret letter to the
Wazīr. At Rañ-hdum this letter reached the Wazīr's hands, and he, passing through
Zañs-dkar, reached Sle [again]. He turned the king out of the castle and gave orders
that [the village of] Tog only was to provide him with provisions, wheat, and butter for
p. 50. food, and with grass, wood, etc. He also assigned [to the king] a jagir of 1,159 Rs.
11¾ as. and established him there. Prince Tshe-dban-rab-brtan fled to Spi-ti, passing
through Ldum-ra and Drañ-tse. (Ca MS.) After having stayed there for one or two
months, Mehog-sprul died. (Ce MS.) Rājā Dnos-grub-bstan-hdzin was elected viceroy.
At Kara (Dgar-ba) a Ki-la (Qila) was erected and handed over to Magna, the
Tha-na-dār. It was agreed that an annual tribute of 9,000 Rs. was to be paid to the
[Jammu] Government. The Wazīr [Zorawar] then returned [to Jammu, travelling] through
Zin-spyan. (C MS.) To Queen Zi-zi (Mehog-sprul's wife) a son was born, whose name
was (Ce MS.) Hjigs-med-chos-kyi-sen-ge-mi-hgyur-kun-dgah-rnam-rgyal. (C MS.) To
another Zi-zi was born (Ce MS.) Bstan-srun-gyul-rgyal, who became king of Mañ-spro.
They also received a jagir of 507 Rs. 12¼ as., together with wheat, butter,
grass, wood, etc. Then Raja Dnos-grub-bstan-hdzin reigned for five years.

NOTES

Rat-hdum is a monastery on the road from the Suru valley to Zañs-dkar. Ka-ra (Dgar-ba, Skara) is
a village one mile below Leh. Zin-spyan is said to be a village on the Zañs-dkar River near Phyi-glin.
Mañ-spro is a village on the left bank of the Indus, immediately above He-mis. It is still the residence of
Bstan-srun-gyul-rgyal's descendants.
