They had received divine honours from the people, who supposed that they brought special blessings, both temporal and spiritual, to the province. When they died there was great mourning. But people soon began to speak, as is customary, about their new birth. One of them had even said on his death-bed to his weeping sister : " Weep not, for in three years I shall have assumed another body, and shall be with you again." But three years is a long time to wait. Soon after the death of this kushog a... baby was born in a rich family, whom everybody took to be an ordinary child until some interested person found that the soul of the departed saint had entered into the boy. A lama, who had been a long time in the service of the family, and had only just left it, was deputed to examine the child, and as it stretched out its arms to him, there was no further doubt about the matter. The baby itself, they said, had shown that the soul of the deceased had taken up his abode in it, and was longing for the embrace of his old colleague.
