Dr. Vogel's note, that Kulūta was probably occupied by the Tibetans at that time, is quite in agreement with Ladakhi history. The king of Kulūta was in a loose way a vassal of the kings of Leh.
The route taken by Zainu'l-abidin was that taken by the Ladakhi king, Ths-dbangrnam-rgyal I. later on, when he went to Guge and Parang, and returned to Ladakh by way of Kulü and Lahaul.
of the expedition of King Zainu'l-abidin, which is mentioned in Srivara's Chronicle, we hear nothing in the Ladakhi Chronicle. It may have been directed against Baltistan.

Adam Khan's Expedition to Tibet. Srivara's Rájatarangini. Taranga I.
(a) v. 71.
Being afraid of his (Adam Khan's) assassination, the king ( Zainu'l-abidin) sent his son away after a few days by the road leading to Bhutta.
Translator's Note.
Adam Khin was the eldest son of Zainu'l-'abidin, the younger ones being Haji Khan and Bahrãm Khan. Adam Khan and Hāji Khăn hated each other, and the latter conspired with some officers of the State against the life of the former. It was to avoid this danger that the king ( Zainu'l-abidin ) bad to send away his eldest son.
(b) V. 82.
When in course of time, Adam Khan had returned to Kashmir) having conquered the Bhotta country, Haji Khan marched to the mountain of Lobara under the king's (Zainu'l-'abidin) orders.
Translator's Note.
It is not possible to find out the precise date of this event, but that it probably took place in 1451 A.D. may be inferred from Srivara I,. 86, which supplies the Lankika year 28 (A. D. 1452) as the date of Hāji Khan's return from the campaign referred to in the verse translated above.
Tibetan Notes.
Adam Khan's expedition must have taken place during the reign of the Ladakhi king bLo-gros-mobog-ldan, who reigned from c. 1440-1470 A. D. No mention is made in the Ladakhi Chronicles of a war with Kashmir under him. The expedition may have been conducted against Baltistan,
