FOREIGN DEMONS IN MONGOLIAN AND CENTRAL ASIAN BUDDHISM THROUGHOUT THE TIME
influences. In this paper also the Tocharian word /u / luwo for “animal” is proposed
as a Sino-Tibetan loanword since it looks and it functions as similar words in Altaic.
Then in a newer layer there is a direct source in Tibetan Buddhist canon with proper
name Langdarma and several syncretic processes incorporating theonym /uus not
only for “dragons” or “spirits”, but connecting it with older /us with syncretic for¬
mation of new types of deities appearing in Mongolian Buddhist pantheon, in ritual
habits and texts. And finally in modern times there are two marginal but intentional
connections of Lenin (Slavic) + Langdarma (Tibetan) and Sinicized term for Sanskrit
raksasa + Sinicized Slavic ethnonym for Russians in both cases with change r- >
l-, i.e. = Ewenki Luuta / Luuéa “Russian; monster” with this ethnonym appearing
also in Buryat.
