A river name in Kham, mentioned in the Catalog in reference to the “land of Ling.” While the Dachu (zla chu) is a name used for the upper Mekong river that flows to the west of Degé, the Shardachu (“eastern Dachu”) here likely refers to the eastern Dzachu, which is one of the four great rivers of eastern Tibet known in Chinese as the Yalong (Ch. Yalongjiang), a major tributary of the Yangtze.
