The English translation, accompanied by detailed notes by Zahiruddin Ahmad, provides critical insights into the text. For example, in discussing the relationship between the Mongolian ruler Qubilai Qagan (reigned 1260–1294) and the Phags-Pa Lama (1235–1280), the seventh head of the Sa-sKya-Pa sect of Tibetan Buddhism, Ahmad highlights that this relationship was essentially personal and religious. This interpretation challenges present-day claims of Chinese sovereignty or even suzerainty over Tibet since the thirteenth century, showing that such assertions are not supported by historical facts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1411\" data-end=\"1564\"\u003eScholarly, precise, and historically significant, this book is essential for students and researchers of Tibetan history, Buddhism, and Asian politics.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ADITYA PRAKASHAN Indological Publishers \u0026 Booksellers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50108157067568,"sku":"DRG.AdityaPrakashan _9788177420838","price":2400.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0690\/9968\/4144\/files\/9788177420838.jpg?v=1756793350","url":"https:\/\/www.retailmaharaj.com\/products\/the-song-of-the-queen-of-spring-or-the-history-of-tibet-by-fifth-dalai-lama-of-tibet-revised-translation-by-zahiruddin-ahmad","provider":"Retail Maharaj","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
