Register of the Line of Kings [reigning over] Bzan-la in Zans-dkar

Dpal-mgon, the elder brother, became king of La-dvags; Bde-gtsug-mgon, the younger brother, became king of Pa-dam (Dpal-ldum) in Zans-dkar. His son was Sen-ge-lde. His sons were Hdzom-grags-lde, and Manga-la-lde, the younger. Hdzom-grags-lde lived at Dpal-ldum castle. From his brother Manga-la-lde originated the family which took possession of Bzan-la. It is as follows:—Manga-la-lde's son was Rin-chen-dpal-lde. [His son was Dge-bdun-dpal-lde.] His son was Bsod-nams-dpal-lde. His son was Bkr[a-śi]s-dpal-lde. His sons were Mgon-dpal-lde and Brtson-bgrus-rgyal-mtshan, [who became a] Drun-pa-rgyal-tshab [title of a high lama]. Of the elder's¹ two sons Brtson-bgrus-rgyal-mtshan, the younger, who was a Drun-pa-rgyal-tshab, became a lama at Dkar-śa monastery. Mgon-dpal-lde, the elder one, reigned. He had two sons, viz. Nam-mkha-dpal-lde and Blo-bzan-rgyal-mtshan, who became a lama [with the title of] Drun-pa-phug-pa. The elder one had two sons, viz. Khri-dpal-lde and Tshe-dban-dpal-lde. The son of the elder one was Tshe-dban-rab-brtan-dpal-lde. The younger son became a lama [and was called] Blo-bzan-ye-śes-rgyal-mtshan, the Zabs-drun. The son of the elder one was Ye-śes-dpal-lde. His sons were Bsod-nams-dpal-lde and Ye-śes-rnam-rgyal-lde. The [first] son of the elder, [called] Ye-śes-m-thab-yas, became a lama; the middle one was [called] Ye-śes-don-yod-dpal-lde. The youngest [called] Ye-śes-phun-tshogs-dpal-lde had a daughter, [called] Zla-mdzes-dban-mo.

As Ye-śes-phun-tshogs-dpal-lde died when both were children, his widow (wife), queen Bkr[a-ś]is, having accepted a [certain man] called Bsam-grub to be her husband, the two protected the two young ones. Zla-mdzes-dban-mo had three sons, viz. Blo-bzan-rnam-rgyal-dpal-lde [he died], Ba-ku-la, the Sku-gźog, and Ye-[ś]es-tshul-khrims, the youngest.
