Note 14 — Chapter VII · GOVERNMENT OF LHASA—CUSTOMS, FESTIVALS, ETC.
Reading edition
There are two Djongpon to every Djong,14 their authority being equal in all respects. In military matters they are subordinate to the generals and the Amban. They render yearly accounts to the Amban of the military stores in their district, and have also to show their proficiency in shooting, riding, and other athletic sports at the annual inspection of the troops made by the Amban and the Dahpon; and the former confers on them blue or crystal buttons, to be worn on their official hats.15
