with Khalatse, see in my History of Western Tibet. The last vassal 

 kings of Khalatse were apparently rGya zhin and Shirima (Sriman). 



Lhachen dge bhe and dGe 'abum, c. 1140 — 1170. A.D. S.M.S. spells 

 bLachen. Nothing known beyond the names. 



Lhachen jo Idor, c. 1170 — 1200 A.D. Nothing known beyond the 

 name. 



bKrashis mgon, c. 1170-1200 A.D. Nothing known beyond the 

 name. But if Lha rgyal, whose name is found only in S.M.S. , has to 

 be omitted, all that is mentioned under Lha rgyal would refer to his 

 reign. 



Lha rgyal, c. 1230—1260 A.D. I think I had better give up the 

 idea of identifying him with Lhachen kundga mam rggal of the Daru 

 inscription, as I did before. See Ind. Ant., Vols. XXXV, XXXVI, 

 Archaeology in Western Tibet. 



Lhachen jo dpal, c. 1260 — 1290 A.D. A song in honour of king 

 Jo dpal is found in Ind. Ant., 1909, l Ten ancient historical songs.' 



Lhachen dngos grub, c. 1290 — 1320 A.D. He is mentioned in the 

 Mahatmya of Likir as having come to the throne seven generations after 

 Lhachen rgyalpo. Introduction of the bKa 9 agyur which had just then 

 been completed by Buston. The Mongols received the bKa 'agyur in 

 1310 A.D. If we can trust the Kashmir chronicles, be was killed by the 

 Kalamanyas, people of Kharmang. 



Lhachen rgyalbu rinchen y c. 1320 — 1350 A.D. See my article 

 'References to the Bhottas in the Rajatararigini,' Ind. Ant. 1908. He 

 became the first Mohamedan king of Kashmir. The Persian ■ History 

 of Azmi ' tells of his conversion to Mohamedanism, of the erection of 

 Bulbul Lankar in Srinagar by him, and of his erection of a mosque. 



The Persian ' History of Malvi Haidar Mailik ' contains a transla- 

 tion of a lost inscription by Rainchana in his mosque. According to it, 

 he was only half Mohamedan. 



The Ladakhi • Song of the Bodro Masjid p speaks of the great saint 

 Bulbul. A song entitled ' Prince Rinchen's deparature ' is found in my 

 article i Ten ancient historical songs,' Ind. Ant., 1909. 



Lhachen shesrab, 1350—1380 A.D. See my History of W. T. His 

 name is omitted in S.M.S-

Lhachen grags 'abum Ide, c. 1400 — 1440 A.D. For his rock inscrip- 

 tion at Mulbe, see Indian Ant., Vol. XXXV, p. 72. For the invasion of 

 Zainu-1-abidin of Kashmir, see my article ' References to the Bhottas in 

 the RajataranginV Ind. Ant., 1909. S.M.S. spells his name gLachen. 



bLo gro8 mchog Idan, c. 1440 — 1470 A.D. For invasions of Kashmir 

 kings, see my article in the Ind. Ant., 1909. His name is found in the 

 Tarikh-i-Rashidi, probably with reference to his descendants.

Western Tibet. 



A translation of this chapter will be found in K. Marx's Three Docu- 

 ments (J.A.S.B., Vol. LX, pp. 123—135). In the following, names and 

 notes only are given. 



Lhachen gragspa <abum 9 c. 1400 — 1440 A.D. A seal attributed to this 

 king is still in the possession of the ex-kings of Ladakh. He was pro- 

 bably against bTsongkhapa and his reformation. Inscriptions of the 

 time of the reformation are found in the desert between Bashahr and 

 Spiti, and one at Khalatse. See my article 'Historische Dokumente
