note on the passage I have shown that the name Dhuddvanci survives in 
Durun Ndr (map ‘Darnar’), the appellation of the high spur which 
descends into the Sind Valley from the south between Gagangir and 
Sun a marg. 1 It is exactly at the foot of this spur that the river passes 
through the gorge above described. The position taken up by the 
king’s opponent is thus fully explained. 
Gagangir being already 7400 feet above the sea, is the last per¬ 
manently inhabited place in the valley. Some twenty-five miles higher 
up we arrive at the Zoji-La Pass. Here we have reached the limits of 
Kasmir as well as the end of our survey.

Ndr , the Ks. equivalent of Skr. nada, the Anglo-Indian ‘ Nullah/ is often found as the 
second part in names of high hill-ranges in Kasmir; compare, e.g. t the ‘Soornar’ 
and ‘ Baibnar ’ of the map, east of the Haramukh Peaks.
