as Siválik range. Many Cháukis on the southern border of the Siválik range are also called

with Europeans; perhaps it might be referred to Siva.

"The oracle's stones." Mo, oracle; rdo, stone.

This is a halting place near the ridge of a pass, the slopes of which are covered with stones
of a dark and a light colour. On their being thrown up into the air, a black stone falling
down to the earth first is a bad omen.

There is even a legend that Alexander the Great, whose memory is preserved and alluded
in Tibet and in Turkistán more frequently than might be expected, here consulted the
stone-oracle, in order to decide whether or not to proceed to Ladák; but received an answer
in the negative, as my Lama companion added most earnestly. Alexander's name in Tibet
is Gyálpo Kishar.
