noble birth! By your giving a monastery together with a house and field at Gyu-mkhar,
the austerities of us three are completed. We have been mice. You must give
the teaching to these [people] and work for the great advantage of all beings!' Thus
they said, and the three anchorites went to some other place (Thug-pa ?). At that
time Tshañ-rgyal-po of Dpaḥ-gtum gave Mar-glin, and Bde-mchog-skyabs gave
Skyid-ñi of Ste-sta up to Gro-gra-ma-can and down to Thañ-so.
After that [the lama] Byañ-sems and Tshañ-rgyal-po both held a council, and said
to Bde-mchog-skyab[s]-pa :—' As you have to provide a treasurer for both of us, give
[us] a piece of land!' As they asked him thus, he kept for himself only a few fields,
labourers, and tax-payers, and gave all that remained to the king and the lama. He
presented the whole [cultivated] land and the mountains, and for himself he kept only
what there was of hunting ground.
During the reign of Tshañ-rgyal-po Mig-za-dhar arrived at Khul-yan from Yar-
kyen (Yarkand), leading 3,000 soldiers, and Tshañ-rgyal-po, together with his subjects,
fled into the Lhaḥi-luṅ-pa [valley]. Later on he (Mig-za-dhar) seized the castle of
Dpaḥ-gtum. Tshañ-rgyal-po sent Chos-grub of the Bcaḥ-ba castle before the assembled
lords. He said, 'I have something nice to tell you!' He was urged to speak. 'Oh,
King, give me both Mdzo-khyuñ-rog-po (or a herd of black mdzos ?—F. W. T.) and
Ḥgar-khra-leb! I will give you two peasants [estates] of Gyu-mkhar!' Thus he said.
'In exchange for Mdzo-khyuñ-rog (a herd of black mdzos ?) and Ḥgar-khra-leb (the
smith Khra-leb ?) I do not want two peasants of Gyu-mkhar. I am a fellow-citizen of
the people of Ste-sta and a benefactor. I do not want them!' Then [Chos-grub],
offering more mdzos and royal treasures, said, 'Are you not wise, Mig-za-dhar?
Then do not remain here! Go back! Even to-day many Indians, armed with rifles,
will arrive here!' Thereupon Mig-za-dhar fled night and day, and came out of [the
defile] at Dkar-tse of Su-ru. (Text very uncertain.) After that the region from 'Ag-tse
in 'On-po up to Lhab-tse in Kha-ce (Kashmir) was given to Phug-thal.
During the reign of Tshañ-rgyal-po the chief of 'U-pa-rag, Ḥjam-dbyañ-pa, fled
to Dkar-tse. After that the chief Ha-źi issued a call to arms, and, when he arrived
there with his army, a cubit of snow had fallen at Dpaḥ-gtum. They went there,
and, when they were climbing up to the castle of Dpaḥ-gtum, four women threw a heavy (?)
stone from the smith's gate, and the chief Ḥjam-dbyañ died there. [Therefore] castle and
country were ruined and filled with soldiers. Tshañ-rgyal-po was fettered outside [the
town] and tied to the flagstaff of a corner-tower. Therefore Druñ-pa-Rab-bstan came down
from Phug-thal and delivered the king from the flagstaff. Ḥtshogs-bzan was the head
of the Phug-thal [monastery]. Carrying great treasures, he petitioned the chief
Ha-źi. Upon this petition the king sent back the greater part of the country people.
Taking with him the remainder, he arrived at Dkar-tse. Ḥtshog[s]-bzan . . . (unin-
telligible) . . . Ḥtshog[s]-bzan marched to and fro. After that many people died in that
country, and Ḥtshog[s]-bzan was escorted and brought to Phug-thal. In spring (?) the
messenger Grags-pa-dpal-bzan of Dpaḥ-gtum and others bowed before the chief
Ha-źi and said :—' A worm-pest has come; they sit all over the ground; send away
