ba lang gi spos kyi tsan dan

A particular kind of sandalwood, known as "ox-head," that grows in southern India. It is reddish in color and has medicinal properties. It is said to have the finest fragrance of all sandalwood. The Sanskrit word go means "ox," and śīrṣa means "head;" candana means "sandalwood." The name of this sandalwood is said to derive from either the shape of or the name of a mountain upon which it grew. The Tibetan translated gośīrṣa as {ba lang gi spos} or "ox incense."
