Sand-Buried Ruins of Khotan : vol.1 |
Citation Information
OCR Text
doubts that exist as to their ethnic affinity. From the
description recorded by members of the Yarkand Mission it
appears that the Phakhpo in build and features are eminently
"Aryan" looking. Yet they are distinct from the Tajiks of
Sarikol, and are believed to speak a Turki dialect. Their
small numbers, distant home, and shy habits have so far
prevented any close observation. I was no luckier in this
respect, as, notwithstanding the watch kept by the Amban's
order, no Phakhpos could be discovered among the market
crowds. To wait for the arrival of men who might have been
fetched from their mountains would have meant the delay of
a week, which I could not afford.
Instead of these hill-folk the
day brought another interest-

Buddhist monk from the East
of China who had begged his
way through to Aksu and
Khotan and was now again on
his way northward. He had
somehow heard of the respect
I paid to 'Tang-Seng's' memory,
and not unnaturally hoped for
some help on his onward
journey. His was evidently
not a pilgrimage in search of
sacred sites connected with
Buddhism. Yet his simple,
jovial way appealed to me, and
I was glad to return his gift of
a religious tract, nicely painted
on red paper, with an offering of silver that sent the humble
devotee away quite happy and contented.
I shall always look back with pleasure to the short stay at
Karghalik, or rather Yetimlukum, as the village is called
