INDEX OF PEOPLE, PLACES, AND DEITIES
Note: Index entries from the print edition of this book have been included for use as search terms. They can be located by using the search feature of your e-book reader.
All names of people, places, and deities occurring in both the text and the Afterword are indexed here. The Glossary has not been included. Since many people and deities are known by more than one name or epithet, we have cross-referenced these using “see also” entries. All Tibetan words are followed by their orthographic transliteration in parentheses.
