<p>In this brief communication Gibson investigates the Tibetan term <em>dgra lha</em>, which commonly refers to a particular type of deity. He argues that the term may actually have its roots in another term, <em>sgra bla</em>, evidenced in Bönpo (<em>bon po</em>) literature and epics of the Tibetan dynasty. He looks at how the term may have changed over time, and what impact this revised etymology would have the interpretation of <em>dgra lha</em> in various literary sources. (Ben Deitle 2006-01-27)</p>
