6 Sarafc Cliandra Das —A brief account of Tibet [Xo. 1, 
of silver ingots with which it was constructed, it is called Jamali, “ the 
immoveable.” Again, when the Turusbka armies under King Boramjee 
(or Noramjee) captured Chittore, the king and his brother, carrying with 
them the images of Chanrassig Wangchhyug and his wife, retired to 
Kanof Tesi. When arrived at Purano^, he found that Chanrassior’s imas:e 
could not be moved or carried any further; but from underneath the spot 
where the image stood there sprung out miraculously a seat of amalaka 
stone with an iron lotus on it, while a voice was heard directing the king: 
to leave the image there. The royal brothers at the end of their pilgrim¬ 
age in Tibet returned to Nepal, carrying with them the image of DoZ- 
ma. There the elder brother obtained the principality of Jumlang, 
and the younger brother, more fortunate, the kingdom of Nepal. 
The latter, after reigning several years, abdicated the throne and 
went to Southern India, where he obtained the chieftainship of a large 
principality,* 
* [With regard to this incident, Mr. EL B. Beveridge sends ns the following 
note. “ The Tibetan Chronicle speaks of the Turushka, that is, Muhammadans under 
King Boramji. But I suspect a mistranslation here, and think that Boramji must 
be the name of the Chitor Hindu king, and not of the Muhammadan conqueror who, 
I think, ought to be Alauddin Khilji who sacked Chitor in 1303. I applied to my 
friend the Kaviraj Shyamal Das, and he has given me the following useful note 
which, I beg to suggest, might be put as a note to the passage in the Tibetan 
chronicle. 
The Kaviraj writes as follows : 
“ “ Boramji, or Noramji may be a corruption of Barbarm who was the 
son of Ayut and grandson of Kumbha Karan son of Rawal Samar 
Singh of Chitor. It is known from the Prithvk Raj Rasa that Kumbha Karan 
Bought shelter towards Ujjcin after leaving Chitor, when Alauddin Khilji sacked it 
in the time of Samar Singh ; and his descendants went to Nepal, a fact which is 
admitted by the Nepalese. Nepal may bo meant by Tibet in the chronicle you 
speak of.” ” 
I think that there is something in the Kaviraj’s suggestion, though I cannot find 
Barbarm in Tod. On tho othor hand I find one Ajoysi there, Yol. I, p. 2(> < .), and Tod 
says that ho had two sons, ono of whom by name Snjunsi was the ancestor of 
Sivaji, tho founder of the Asattara dynasty. May not this be the more fortunate 
prince of tho Tibetan chronicle who bocamo a ruler in Southern India ? In a 
footnote to tho page of Tod just qnotod, he Hays, that two noble lines wore roared 
from expelled princes of Chitor ; those of Sivaji, and the (iorkhaa of Nepal. At 
j>. 257 Tod refers to a son of Samar Singh who fled to t he mountains of Pal, and 
there spread the (JehlotO line. According to Tod and tho Rajput bards, Samar 
Singh lived nearly 150 years before Alauddin, but 1 suppose this is one of tho 
anachronisms, which the Kaviraj Iiuh set. himself to rectify. Perhaps I)r. Wright's 
History of Nepal might throw light on tho subject of Chitor princes in Nepal, or 
Tibet.”—ifil».j
