Suru valley. Their power certainly extended up to the Zoji-la. Sher-'Ali-Khān of Baltistan is the famous Balti
king who in about 1550-80 A.D. united all Baltistan and successfully overran Ladakh. The old Balti castle of
Go-ṡen has disappeared. Below its site we now find the village of Go-ṡen (map: Goshun), less than a mile
north-west of Dras. The old Ladakhi castle of Lha-mo-can has also disappeared; but a village of that name is
found a little more than a mile south-east of Dras (map: Lamachun). The name given here as that of the
Ladakhi king is only a title. It means 'Great Divinity (mahādeva) of the East'. Lha-chen (great divinity,
mahādeva) was the dynastic name of the first West Tibetan dynasty; but it was also much used by the
second dynasty. From the Ladakhi chronicles it becomes evident that the Ladakhi kings repeatedly
entered into matrimonial relations with the chiefs of Pas-kyum, but the name Bil-ti cannot be found
there. The two castles built by the Pas-kyum chiefs are no longer in existence. They were erected
on two rocks facing one another on opposite banks of the Dras river, about one mile east of Dras. As
regards the family of Ladakhi officials called Jo-mal (vice-chiefs), their descendants are still found in the Dras
valley. According to Moorcroft (ii, p. 42), half of the taxes of the Dras district had, in 1820, to be sent to
Kashmir. Extensive ruins of the old castle of Mkhar-bu may still be inspected on the top of a rock above the
trade road, say half a mile below the bungalow of Mkhar-bu.
