[No. 2, 
Three Documents relating to the History of Ladakh : Tibetan Text, 
Translation and Notes.—By the late Dr. Karl Marx, 
Moravian Missionary at Leh, Ladakh. 
(Read January, 1894.) 
Introductory remark by the Rev. Dr. Gustaf Dalman, 
of Leipzig, Germany. 
Under tlie above title, in Vol. LX of this Journal, ante, p. 97-135, 
there was published only the first of those Three Documents, with 
an ‘ Introduction.’ Dr. Karl Marx, my ever-lamented brother, who 
was born at Niesky, in Silesia, a province of Prussia, on January 9, 
1857, and died on May 29, 1891, at Leh, was no more alive, when this 
first part of his paper came out. He left behind him a translation 
of what he called the B-MS. in his Introduction, beginning with king 
De-ldan-nam-gyal, and of the first part of C-MS. from the same point 
of the history. His intention was {vide Yol. LX, p. 100), in his next 
publication to commence with this De-ldan-nam-gyal, and to take for 
its basis ‘ the rest of B-MS. with such additions as may be derived 
from C-MS.’ In a third publication he intended to give the second 
part of C-MS. For this last one, however, no translation has been 
found among his papers. I hope, the friends of the history of Ladakh 
will be thankful to get at least the translation from B-MS., designed 
for the second publication, together with some additions from the trans¬ 
lation of the first part of C-MS., chosen by me as the present editor, who 
only feels too much that he cannot supply the place of the Author. 
(Seng-ge-nam-gyal.) His sons were: De-ldan-nam-gyal, Indra- 
Bhodhi-nam-gyal, (and) De-cli’og-nam-gyal. (These) three were born. 
(XXIII) De-ldan-nam-gyal was made king. Indra-Bhodlii-nam- 
gyal was admitted (to the brotherhood of Lamas) at Stag-na, by the 
Ch’os-je Mug-dzin, and came to be the most prominent amongst the 
disciples of Stag-(ts’ang) ras-(ch’en). At the time of the erection of 
the He-mi and T’eg-ch’og-(Lamaseries), he acted as superior (? super-
