I think such doubts are very natural, given the fact we have no way to see the original artifact behind it, even no indication where it might be today (stone steles could, and very surely did in at least one case get relocated). Often when such previously unknown things appear the response is "Too good to be true," but in this case I think it's just as justifiable to respond, "Too difficult to do." Genuine until conclusively shown otherwise, I think. Go to work on that, will you?Danhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10453904366382251766noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32671574.post-52786175095630164912019-05-01T11:31:35.587+03:002019-05-01T11:31:35.587+03:00Dear Lagat,

Now that I look at the passage in the small Lde'u history, I see that the entire passage about Songtsen's grandfather corresponds well with the one in the inscription. And that Dunhuang text you mention, the Old Tibetan Chronicles, does share some of the same information, but not the same way of supplying it. Still, the small Lde'u and this inscription are very close in wording. The 4 names mentioned in all these sources seem to have been persons in the court of the Zing-po-rje who ultimately conspired with the Emperor Stag-bu against him. It would seem this coup was largely responsible for the expansion of power over a major part of the plateau, and very soon beyond the plateau...* This is a terribly important subject that needs to be studied for all it's worth by whoever is interested!<br /><br />Yours, D<br /><br />*For more, see note no. 5 in Brandon Dotson's article, “Sources for the Old Tibetan Chronicle: A Fragment from the Non-Extant Chronicle Pothī.” It's available on the net.Danhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10453904366382251766noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32671574.post-37435595063220960912019-04-30T11:18:12.013+03:002019-04-30T11:18:12.013+03:00Dear Dan,

PT 1287 l. 197 "myang dba's mthon dang gsum / tshes pong prin dang bzhis" (from the context, "mthon" is a mispell for "mnon").<br />There is also "blon po myang dba's gnon dang gsum tshe spong 'phrin dang bzhis..." in lDe'u jo sras (page 107 of the 1987 edition). <br />I wonder if this group of 3-4 can be found elsewhere... <br /><br />Best regards,Lagatûrmânhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09066637613518018431noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32671574.post-26692859993899517212019-04-26T01:31:38.776+03:002019-04-26T01:31:38.776+03:00Thanks!
