Yan-drip is probably a corruption of the Tibetan word Yar-hdren, ` upwards-drawer,' one of the epithets of Kesar. Ha-yon-Ma-sron is translated by the Tibetan Lha-mo, Devi. Man-de-de-man-de-sin is given in Tibetan by Yul-lha-gzi-bdag, ` local deity.' Local names.—The following may be identified : Ron-chur-rgyud, the Indus valley between Lig-tse and No-ma. Ba-So, west of Skar-rdo. Gu-sur, Tibetan Khu-tshur, near Ba.-So. Ku-mar, near Skar-rdo. Skar-rdo, the capital of Baltistan. Si-gar (Ei-dkar), north of Skar-rdo. Kye-ris, close to the confluence of Sha-yok and Indus. Man-thro-khar, probably identical with Anthrokar or Kharmang of the maps. Par-ku-da, below Kharmang, Ga-bis (map Gavis), name of the valley of Palpaldo. Ga-nog-sa (map Ganoks), name of a side-valley above Ga-bis. Ha-nu and Han-dran-mir, in a side-valley above the latter. Sa-nid (map Sunnit), a few miles above Mdah (Dab of the map). As regards the seventh line, another translation, viz. ` willow of Skar-do-god ', might be proposed ; for among the Dards this town may be known by the name of Skar-do-god. Tan-se is probably an abbreviation of [rtses]btara-sa-ig, a dancing-place. |
