“The lake also has the appearance of having once been much larger than it is now; and in ancient times, when there was much jangal and marshy land⟳ in that part of the country, and the rivers and lakes contained much more water than they do now, there is no doubt⟳ that the Marawa lake must have⟳ been more extensive than at present⟳ and the expanse of water must have⟳ been more permanent and equable; and then, in that case, the water of the lake must have⟳ reached up to within a very short distance of the stûpa at Râmpur.”

“The fact that the jangal contains sacred forests and many deities helps ensure that the Rais and Sherpas will carefully protect⟳ its resources.”
