Vol. VI, No. 8.] Ladvags rGyalrabs. 423 



[N.S.] 



Part X. — Ladakh after the Dogra Wars. 



SMS : His (mChog sjyruVs) son a'Jigsmed choskyi sengge 

 mi 'agyur kun dga mam rgyal is this one (the present ex-king). 



Notes : This last sentence means that the e#-king of Ladakh, who was 

 alive in Schlagintweit's time, was in possession of the long name 'aJigs- 

 med, etc. It was he who, as a boy of seven years, reigned at Leh for six 

 weeks, after Zorawar's death. It was he who in 1856 refused to let 

 Schlagintweit have a copy of the rGyalrabs, until valuable presents had 

 been made to him. If I am not mistaken, 'aJigsmed is the father of the 

 nresent ex-kina bSod nams rnam raval.
