For example, the "Blue St11pa at Samye" will be found under "Samye", as will its "central shrine", the small hill behind Samye called "(Samye) Hepori" and the "Sangcen Metok" cave located at Chimpu. Alternative names can also appear as sub- entries, for example "Wokmin Tshurpu" under "Tshurpu". As a general convention, mountains have been grouped together under their prefix "Mount".
454 Index of Locations
Throughout this index we have attempted to identify as accurately as possible the actual location of the places mentioned, both geo- graphically and by giving their modern name. Prior to 1978 Tibet was little known to foreign travellers, but in recent years the country has opened slightly and fieldwork has contributed greatly to our task.
Reference has also been made to secondary works available on Tibet. In particular to George Roerich's translation of the Blue Annals (Blue Annals); Turrell Wylie's The Geography of Tibet according to the 'Dzam-gling rgyas-bshad (GT); Alphonsa Ferrari's translation of mK'yen brtse's Guide to the Holy Places of Central Tibet (KGHP) and Keith Dowman's recent reworking of the same text including the excellent results of his fieldwork entitled The Power Places of Central Tibet (PPCT); Stephen Batchelor's The Tibet Guide (TG) and Gyurme Dor;e's Tibet Handbook with Bhutan (TH). Page references have been given in parentheses for passages in these and other works describing the places listed in more detail. Further information on geographical data contained in the Blue Annals in particular will be found in Turrell Wylie's A Place Name Index to George N Roerich's Translation o f the Blue Annals.
Where numerical categories of locations occur, these have been cross- referenced to the Glossary of Enumerations whenever more information is to be found there. Occasional additional information in the Notes, how- ever, has generally not been cross-referenced.
Finally, many of the Indian and Tibetan locations mentioned in Sec- tion One have been plotted in the series of specially prepared maps which form the final section of this book, and grid references for the Tibetan locations in particular have been listed following the page numbers. As an aid to the reader, we have included grid references both for those loca- tions which are specifically identified on the maps and for others which cannot be precisly indicated, either because their exact longitude and latitude are unknown or because the scale of the maps renders their inclusion impractical. In the latter cases the index itself often reveals that such locations are in close proximity to more important sites which have been indicated.
