But this was the reply he received:
The agreement that we made was binding:
The quicker of the two could have her.
If now I take an offering for my daughter,
There will have to be a fight.
And so for sake of peace, for others and yourself,
Allow my child to wander where she will,
In those far-distant lands.
Surkharpa, however, declared that regardless of the consequences, he would not release Tsogyal. He put the girl in chains and, gathering a large army, prepared for battle. But the news reached the ears of the king, and he dispatched seven ministers to Kharchen carrying this message:
Kharchen Pelgyi Wangchuk, listen!
If you pay no heed to me, your king,
My strength will crush you speedily!
Your daughter is sublime and beautiful,
A worthy queen for me.
Should any of my subjects cause unrest,
His life is forfeit, as the law decrees!

In those far-distant lands
请允吾儿依其愿
浪迹遥远之异地。
