See L A Waddell, Lhasa and its Mysteries (1905), p. 271: "The peace delegates came clad in brilliant yellow silks, amber and old gold, headed by the Ta Lama, a good-natured old man, with prominent teeth, and more like a farmer than a priest (see sketch, p. 416). They included the Grand Lama's chief secretary or Tung-yik Chembo, named Lopu Tsang, a crafty and masterful monk...."
