THE INDIAN ANTIQUARY.
[MARCE, 1902
Khromo, the angry.' The name is evidently derived from khroba, anger, « quality which agrees with the nature of this Agu; but the feminine article mo is unusual.
G. Gogoalhamo. - As Dr. Lanfer tolle me, this name is spelled Gogthea lhamo in the Epic. This is one of the doubtful names. According to colloquial Ladakhi gog means "ashes,' and lhamo goddess. As regards sa or thea, I do not offer an opinion.
d.c'ant, perhape originally dG'anyi,. day of joy,' same of an Aga.
Gar rtos chos agrol, the smith, pillar of the religious deliverance,' occurs chiefly in the Winter Myth, and is a Vassal of the King of Yarkand. Kesar deceives him, pretending to be his relative, wheretipon the smith teaches him his trade. - C. L. Other names of the same person are Nag shang shang, and Hemis.
10ogpo, the lower,' name of the King of Yogklu. - C. L. The Epic and several oral versions have 1Yogpo.
Ch. Chorol = Chongrol, helper in the religion,' name of 'Bragama's mother. It originated probably in later times, for it sounds quite Buddhist.- O. L.
Glogsalhamo gives birth
Nyashung gsormig = Nyachung, etc., the little fish Gold-eyo. to him in the son. - Addition No. 8.-O. L.
1Tabs migrab, the soor Clear-eye,' name of an Agu.-O. L.
brTanpa, firmness,' name of 'Bruguma's father, -0. L. For brTanma se Jüschke's Tibetan Dictionary.
brTan 'adsin dmarpo, seizing the red firm support. This was probably the form of the Dame betan 'adain in pre-Buddhistic times.
Th.
Th. Thurru rkyangbyang dbyerpa, the real colt descended from the wild kiang,' name of Dongrub's hora. It is born again on the earth with the same name and the same qualities as it had before, and is therefore called the real.' With regard to this name, the idea of the Tibetans seems to have been that the horse was a descendant of the kiang. The Epio as well as the Winter Myth have the name in this form: rkyang rgod dbyerps, the wild real kiang.-C.L.
D. Darlha go chodma, the flourishing goddess who executes her work well,' name of 'Bruguma's bandmaid.-O. L.
Darseng dkarmo, the white ice-lioness. Gogzalhamo gives birth to her at the top of the mountain. - Addition No. 8.-C.L.
Dungngi dardkar, "the silken-white mother-of-pearl horse,' on which Agu dPalle rides. -O.L.
Dungsbal dkarpo, the white mother-of-pearl frog. Gogzalhamo gives birth to him on the earth. Addition 3. 0 L.
Donyrub, falblling the aim,' name of the third son of the king of heaven, who is born on the earth as Kesar, -0. L. Because the name Dongrub literally corresponds to the Indian Siddhartha, Dr. Lanfer is inclined to believe in Buddhistic influences with regard to this name. But the name Dongrub is ased oqually instead of the Indian Amoghasiddha, the Dhyanibuddha and Lokapila of the North, who possibly is of Pre-Buddhist origin. I hope it will be proved in due time that Western Tibet and North India influenced each other in Pre-Buddhist times.
