Text Appearing Before Image: sas far as Gartok, that horses and baggage animals shouldbe supplied to two Chinamen who had been despatched tofind me out and talk with me, and convey to me a letterfrom His Excellency, Lien Darin. They might be ex-pected any moment. Midsummer Day was as dull as possible. The wholecountry was buried in impenetrable fog, and even theadjoining tents were invisible. And when it had cleareda little, the mountains were still concealed. We rodenorth-westwards on an excellent road, and were astonishedat the numerous manis with their close, fine, raised in-scriptions on purple and dark-green schist; other prayerstones had characters 1.2 or 1.6 inches high, while thelargest characters were nearly 8 inches high, so that therewas only room for one character on each slab. Then sixslabs were placed in a row to spell out the sacred formula, Om mani padme hum. On some votive stones thecharacters were red, cut out in round pieces of granite witha white underlayer. The largest mani was 262 feet long.
