IV. The Chronicles of Cig-tan

When I travelled in the territory of the old principality of Cig-tan in Ladakh, in
1906, I was told that the present ex-chief of Cig-tan was in possession of a chronicle.
The ex-chief, who then resided at Dkar-dkyil, asserted, however, that the original copy of
the chronicle had disappeared. As, nevertheless, his father had compelled him in
former years to learn the chronicle by heart, he was ready to dictate it to my munshi,
Ye-śes-rig-ḥdzin of Kha-la-rtse. The latter wrote down the tale afresh, and from his
copy the following text is taken.

The principality is situated on a small tributary of the Indus, which falls into this
river opposite to the village of Mdaḥ. The valley stretches from south to north,
and in its best days the principality may have extended over about 50 kilometres in
the valley.

In the Chronicles of Ladakh the principality is mentioned for the first time under
Ḥjam-dbyaṅs-rnam-rgyal in the sixteenth century. There the name of the country is
given as Pu-rig (Bu-rig). At that time the chief of Pu-rig (Cig-tan) had embraced
Muhammadanism, and he was involved in a war between the Ladakhis and Baltis.
In the seventeenth century the principality was again involved in a war between the
Ladakhis under Bde-ldan-rnam-rgyal and the Khri-Sultan of Dkar-rtse. Since then
it is not again mentioned in the Ladakhi Chronicles.
