1644 to 1672 a.d.; for details see the translation of this Foundation document in Emil
Schlagintweit's '"The Buddhism in Tibet, p. 183, et seq. The name here analysed alludes
(as generally one of the names of each Buddhist monastery) to its heing a centre of
Buddhist faith. Compare DarjiTing. Another instance is Mindoling (smin-grol-
#ling), the place of perfection and emancipation, a name of a monastery in Eastern
Tibet,
Sanderban, properly Sundara- van a, in Bengal...... ^t^of^ Sanskr.
"The beautiful forest." Others derive it from sundarl, a small timber tree—Heritier a
minor. This region is also named Sata-mukhi, with a hundred mouths. Lassen, Ind. Alt,,
Vol. I., p. 141. On maps it is frequently found spelled Sunderbunds.
Sarasvati, or Sarsutti, a river in Gujrat............ ^ii^rft Sanskr-
uRich in ivater." Another river of this name is in Serhfnd, much renowned in Hindu my-
thology. Losing itself in the sandy plain it is thought to continue its way to the Ganges
under ground, and to unite itself with this holy river at Allahabad. (Compare Triveni.) In
Garhval we find a river of the same name. Sarasvati is also the name of Brahma's
wife.
Sarju, or Sarayu. a river in Kamaon.............. y^J*" ^^Sf Hind, Sanskr.
"The going, or winding (river)." The Bengali form of this name is S'horju.

"Seven houses."
Satlej, a river in Tibet and the Panjab.................. Hind.
■'The hundred fold." From the Sanskrit Satadru. As modifications of the original
name, Satadru, I add, Sumudriing and Sutudra (near Bampur).
As denominations used in Kanaur, Herbert, As. Kes., 1819, p. 360, mentions: Maksang,
river: Zangti, gold (carrying) river; and Langphing Kampa; the latter is a modifi-
cation of Langchen Khabab, q. v. The general name Tsangbochii, q. v., is also often
used for the Satlej, though far more generally for the Dihong. From Serhfnd to its
junction with the Indus the name Ghara is also used for the Satlej, a name perhaps con-
nected with Sanskrit, in which case it would mean sprinkling, wetting.
Senge Khabab.............. ^Z^ZTj'pT^W seng-ge-kha-bab. Tib.
"Descended from the mouth of a lion." Seng-ge, lion; kha, mouth; hab is the
preteritum of 'bab-po, descended. A mythological name of the river Indus.

strength; also in the composition of personal names the word is very often used in this sense.
