Translation. 
From the upper country (Tibet) hath arisen a new sun. 
All men are saying, ‘‘ Whose light is this? ”’ 
This is the light of the glory of the Rimbéchhé Lama, by 
name Loché Lama. 
Coming down and ever down, he arrives at Rampur, 
Before the Tika Sahib, 
Who asked, ‘‘ Welcome holy Loché Lama, art thou 
arrived ? 
Be pleased to stay in Rampur: we will make a monastery 
for thee here.’’ 
And when Locha Lama replied that he had no order from = * 
his Spiritual Father to remain there for ever, 
The Tika said, ‘‘ Thou mayest live at Rampur as long a8 
it pleases thee, 
We will build a temple, 
Like that of Lhassa.’’ 
The following song in the Shumchho dialect is sung in the 
Shawa pargand of Kanawar :— =

This year brotherhood was entered into with one 
Who is very proud, and has no money at hand,
