dPalle, 'glory, abundance, splendour,' name of the best-known of all the Ague. Le is probably the syllable of respect of the Ladakhi dialect; but it may also represent an abbreviation of las, work. Prinnag rulohen, dark cloud, great mane,' name of Agu Taba migrab's horso.-O. L.
B. Bys khyung dkrung nyims. . The bird Khyung, the diso, the sun. This is the Tibetan Garuda and the male element to Byamo dKarmo. There exists an actual bird, a heron, which is called khyung on account of his voice. The word dkrung also occurs in dloyil dhrung, the common Oriental postare of sitting with crossed legs, when the legs, covered by the long coat, form a kind of diac. dkrung is the only word, the orthography of which cannot be proved for certain, As regards ya Whyung and nyina, the orthography is dictated by the Lower Ladakhi pronunciation.

dBangpo royab bahan rgya-bahin (the 6 of the second syllable, otherwise silent, was pronounced with the first), the sovereign with the all-embracing countenance,' name of the king of heaven. Dr. Lanfer spells the name rgya byin, meaning 'extending splendour' and identifies the Tibetan king of heaven with Indra. I should be very glad if this could be proved. However, it Dr. Lanfer's spelling is the original, the name would be pronounced rgya byin or rgya bin in Lower Ladakh. This is not the case here. This well-known deity is always called Gya Shin or Gyab shin in Lower Ladakh.44
