18:27[iNDOLOGY @ ] Re: Query Dear Ms. Arora, I remember there is

an article probably published in Central Asiatic Journal long ago on

Kanchendzonga, its etimology etc. The author argues that it is not a Sanskrit

word "Kaa~ncanaja.nghaa" but a Tibetan one. At this moment I do not remember

the details, whether the author mentions any Sanskrit words for it. I do have a

copy of that article. If you have not come accross with this article and would

like to read it, I'll find it and send you the details.With regards, Shrikant

"Vibha Arora" <vibha.arora (AT) ANTHROPOLOGY (DOT) OX.AC.UK> Query Dear friends,

I am doing research on sacred mountains in the Tibetan tradition, more

specifically in Sikkim, India. Can anyone please tell me the sanskrit name of

Mt. Kanchendzonga located in Sikkim, it is now regarded as a tibetanised

landscape. I am told it used to be a female mountain, before it was transformed

into a male warrior mountain and patron deity of Sikkim by the Buddhists during

the 17th century. I request both the sansritists, indologists and

Tibbetologists to help me in my research Can anyone give me some references,

apart from B. Steinmann's work. warm regards vibha Univ. of Oxford
