Note 38 — Chapter VI · RESIDENCE AT LHASA.
Reading edition
Under the floor of the Lu-khang are many charms and precious things wrapped in snow-fox or snake-skin. These, it is supposed, preserve the flocks and herds of Tibet. Beneath the image of Dsambhala is hidden in an onyx box some tag-sha,38 which preserves the precious stones, the wool, the grain, and the other riches of the country.
