On the other hand, Tibetologist Guntram Hazod records a local story that explains the mountain's name in terms of its literal meaning in the Standard Tibetan language: shisha, which means "meat of an animal that died of natural causes" and sbangma which means "malt dregs left over from brewing beer".
The Sanskrit name of the mountain, Gosainthan, means "place of the saint" or "Abode of God" [REF].
