§1. Ka khol ma (p. 55): yul ’dzin pa la snga ba yar lungs zo thang
’di yin no ||.
§2. The earliest settlement or cultivating area (yul) in
Tibet is said to be “Yar-lung-zo-dang.” See the Nyang ral chos ’byung (p.
151.16): ’di rnams zo dang smras pas yul la snga ba yar lung zo
dang bya ba yin no || (“For it was told ‘Feed on this,’ the
first settlement is called ‘Feed-on-Yar-lung’”). On the same page
occurs the name Yar-lung-sog-khar and also the following (folk)
etymology: de nas (spre’u phrug bzhi brgya po) de
rnams dga’ che ste ’di la ltos las (sic) zo dang zer te mu ge
yar bas yar klung du grags so ||. Noteworthy is that yar ba in
the name is understood here as a verb obviously meaning “to be gone” or “to
vanish” (yal ba).
§3. See also the bKa’ thang sde lnga (p. 434): mu
ge gnam la yar bas yar klungs zhes su grags || yul la snga ba yar klungs yin no
gsungs ||.
