Phánde Khángsar, also Phúnde Khángsar,
in Gnári Khórsum . . . . . . . . མར་བདེ་ཁང་གསར phan-ṭde-khang-sar. Tib.

"The new house of blessing and welfare." Phan, useful, in the sense of being a
blessing; bde, welfare, the state of being well; khang, a house; sar, new. This is a name
given to the few solidly built houses at Gártok, q. v. The euphemistic name is to be under-
stood as an allusion to the great importance of the protection they offer, since in consequence
of the very great elevation (15,090 ft.) the climate is particularly rough, and the place is
dreaded by the Chinese superintendents who have to pass the summer there.
