NOTES

Pi-pi-tiń is a little village near Spadum in Zaňs-dkar. Mkhar-maó is identical with the principality of Khartakchan and Parkuda. The Jos of Mkhar-maó (or Parkuda) are a family of Balti chiefs, from whose daughters the kings of Baltistan used to select their wives. When the Balti Prince Muhammad-Shāh was disinherited in favour of his younger brother Muhammad-Ali, he fled to the chief of Mkhar-man, his uncle, who took up his cause. It was only natural for the chief of Mkhar-maó to assist the Dogras in their campaign, because in particular the latter professed to defend Muhammad-Shāh's right to the throne of Baltistan. Basti-Rām's narrative ends immediately before the Balti war. The remainder of the history was compiled by Cunningham from 'Other Information'.
