The Early History of India, from 600 B.C. to the Muhammadan Conquest, including the Invasion of Alexander the Great c31.s1.11

¹ Sarat Chandra Dās (*J.A.S.B.*, vol. i, pt. i (1881), pp. 217–22); Waddell, *The Buddhism of Tibet, or Lamaism* (1895), pp. 20–4. The dates of the Tibetan historians for the birth of Srong-tsan Gampo range from A. D. 600 to 617, but the latter date seems to be correct, and is accepted by M. L. de Milloué. That author states that Srong-tsan Gampo married both the Nepalese and Chinese princesses between A. D. 628 and 631. Waddell and Sarat Chandra Dās agree on the date 641 (L. de Milloué, *Bod-Youl ou Tibet*, Paris, 1906, pp. 139, 164–6). The Chinese pretend that they defeated the Tibetans, but the emperor would never have given the princess in marriage to a defeated enemy. Chinese authors habitually represent defeats as victories. There is a good sketch of Tibetan history by Sir R. Temple in *Ind. Ant.*, 1916, pp. 38–41, 47, being part of an article ‘Outlines of Indo-Chinese History’, which is important.
