This is our only object, our sole employment. May the Almighty God 
who listeneth to the supplications of his servants, accept our prayers ! 
And after the death of the Lama, the gracious conduct of the Khawkawn 
was still the same, or rather his royal favour was still greater than before, 
insomuch that it might be said Maha Gooroo was still living, such was the 
excess of his bounty. 
And when the funeral solemnities were concluded, we received our dis¬ 
mission. And the Emperor caused supplies of food and raiment, and 
necessaries of every sort, to be prepared : and he ordered people to be stationed 
at the different stages, to convey the corpse of the deceased Lama from one to 
the other. 
And when we turned our faces from the land of China, he caused carriages 
to be given to my followers : and he appointed two Ameer ul Omras to attend 
the sacred remains of the Lama for its protection ; and on the 21st day of the 
month Shawal, in the year of the Hejera 1195 d , in the morning, 1 arrived 
at the place of my abode in safety ; and a tomb had been prepared, before our 
arrival, for the body of the departed Lama; and we deposited his remains 
therein : and we presented the necessary offerings, and distributed alms to 
promote the transmigration : and we are unremitting in our supplications, 
that he may speedily appear again on the face of the earth. May they be 
accepted! 
Poorungheer Gosein arrived here in the year 1193 , after the departure of 
the Lama towards China, and two letters, and nine strings of pearls, without 
blemish, and perfect in their form; and among them one string of large 
pearl of great brightness and purity, and two chaplets of coral, which you 
sent as a gift, arrived safe : and your satisfactory letters, and that which you 
wrote concerning the village of the Raja, and the remission of all matters 
relating thereto, to do honour to me ; the whole, as there written, was in those 
days submitted to the inspection of Maha Gooroo; and the joy which he 
expressed on reading these things was exceeding great: and the friendly 
letter, and the two rosaries of pearl and coral, one of them intermixed pearl 
, d 23d of October, 1781.
