Karl Marx— History of Ladakh. 
The minister Zurkhang and the chief of the bowmen, called Pishi 
both were also seized and taken to Leh. 
The Tibetans and Dogras lived in peace (good order) without any 
war ever since; the annual trade going on as before according to the 
contract made (with the Dogras). 
The Tibetan minister Zurkhang and Pishi , the head of the bowmen, 
then went back both being the leaders of the Tibetan army. 
The Dewan Harichand re-installed all the Tibetan ministers and 
promised to establish again the Ladakhi king and queen with their 
court. 
From Gangsri in Tibet there used to be given several men as 
servants to the Ladakhi king which he (the king) gave into the hands 
of the Dewan Harichand and the Wazir, and then went to his castle. 
Not to a single nobleman the power, which he had possessed during 
the old king’s reign, was left. But the Dewan Harichand and the Wazir 
said: “ Only the minister Bigdzin, who was the servant of the late Wazir 
Zorawar , who died at Purangs , shall remain for ever, what he was before : 
the servant of the Government!” and transmitted to him all the Govern¬ 
ment work of Ladakh. 
Then the Dewan and the Wazir both took the Ladakhi noblemen, 
among whom there were the Leh minister Ngorub Standzin , Ajo Gonpo, 
Lhadagtsering-stobgyes, along with them and returned to Jammu. 
In Ladakh they left the minister Rigdzin and Magna the Tanadhar s 
together with the soldiers in the kila fort. 
I think, it is all true, which has been said, from the first page to 
this.
