According to the oral and written evidence of dis- tinguished people in Srinagar, the occupant of the above tomb is a Prophet, Yus Asaf by name and also called Prince, who came to Kashmir some 1900 years ago. The author of the Tarikh-i-Azami of Kashmir, a historical work written some 200 years ago refers to this tomb as follows: The tomb next to that of Sayyed Nasr- ud-Din is generally known as that of a prophet who was sent to the inhabitants of Kashmir, and the place is known as the shrine of a prophet. He was a Prince who came to righteousness and devotion, he was made a prophet by God and was engaged in preaching to the Kashmiris. His name was Yus Asaf. (p. 82) Yus Asaf in Hebrew means Jesus the Gatherer.
