TARGYÛG—TÂUONG.
251
Targyûg, a mountain in Zankhar, Lat. 33°, Long. 77°
zyl rta-rgyug. Tib.
"The running horse." lita, a horse; rgyug, to run.
As the outlines of the mountain have no resemblance whatever to the form of a horse, the name seems rather to have a mystical signification, and to refer to the airy horse, in Tibetan Linngta, a frequent imploration of which is universally considered to be of the greatest efficacy for the success of any undertaking. (For details I refer to Emil Schlagintweit's "Buddhism in Tibet," Chapter XV., No. 3.)
T a r s u m, stations for postal use in Tibet "BR rta-zum. 'rib.
The general name of such "Posting stations" in Chinese Tibet, where horses and yaks are kept ready for the use of the travellers, or for postal purposes: they are very numerous.
Rta means horse, but of sum I could obtain no proper explanation from the people. The dictionaries give for station rt a z um, where z u m is seen to have originally meant bridge.
T a s h i l h ii n p o, in Eastern Tibet, Lat. 29°,
Long. 80° Z~7T~r.~IZCjr21rZJ bkra-shis-lhun-po. Tib.
"The sublime glory." Bkra-shis, glory; lhun-po, sublime. It is a city of chiefly ecclesiastical establishments, a little to the south-east of the political residency Digarchi, q. v. Tashilhnnpo is the seat of the incarnate head Lama Panchen Rinpoché, who is considered to be of a less divine origin than the Dalai Lama. (Compare Lhassa.) His court was visited by Samuel Turner during his Embassy to Bhutan.
T a s s i s ii don, in Bhutan, Lat. 27°, Long. 88° 7: 7jß ` ZCJ r bkra-shis-chhos-grong. -Tib.
"The holy town of the doctrine." Bkra-shis, glory, holy; chhos, religion, doctrine; grong, town. It is the residency of the ecclesiastical ruler of Bhutan, who is styled Dharma Rinpoché by the Tibetans, and Dharma Raja by the Hindûs. He, as well as the Dalai Lama, and the Panchen Rinpoché, is considered by the Buddhists in the light of a man in whom a deity has condescended to become re-incorporated. Turner's account of the court of this high priest contains a detailed report of the general appearance and size of the town; and the number of monks inhabiting the Dharma R in p o n c h é's palace alone is
stated by him to exceed 1500.
