TALE V.

1. Kun-Snang = "All-enlightening." (Jülg.) The Mongolian tale-repeater

here gives the Khan a Tibetian name (Tibetian being the learned and

liturgical language of Mongolia), making one of the instances of which

the tales are full, of their transformation in process of transmission.

2. Sesame-oil is mentioned by Pliny in many places as in use in India

for medicinal purposes: as, xiii. 2, 7: xv. 9, 4: xvii. 10, 1, &c.
