乾隆中，西寧玉舒巴彥囊謙千戶分三百戶與其弟索諾木旺爾吉為小囊謙，由德爾格忒土司居間調處，辦事大臣斷定。 Under Qianlong, the Nangqian thousand-household of Yushu Bayan at Xining had allotted three hundred households to his younger brother Sonam Wang'erji as a separate lesser Nangqian; the Dergetu native chieftain mediated, and the resident minister gave a final ruling.

既而索諾木旺爾吉之子諾爾布不能服其屬戶，大囊謙欲兼併之，諾爾布訴於德爾格忒土司； Later Norbu, son of Sonam Wang'erji, could not command his dependent households; the greater Nangqian sought to absorb them, and Norbu appealed to the Dergetu native chieftain;

大囊謙復以土司有欺凌小囊謙情事，互控不已，下瑚松額按之。 the greater Nangqian then accused the native chieftain of oppressing the lesser Nangqian, and the mutual suits went on until Hu Song'e was ordered to investigate.

奏請仍遵原斷，大囊謙不得覬覦屬戶，德爾格忒土司亦毋預鄰封事，以杜爭端，事乃定。 He reported that the original decision should stand—the greater Nangqian must not encroach on dependent households, and the Dergetu chieftain must not meddle across borders—thus closing the dispute.
