"…See….. Welchen Gekhö Sangwa Drakchengyi Kanyen Nagmo Tukkyi Sangdrup, attributed to Sipa Drema Khö (the younger brother of Dralé Gyelmo), in the Gekhö Mecha volume (New Collection of Bön Katen, vol. 122, nos. 101-116), nos. 101, ln. 1 to 106, ln. 1. A synopsis of this origin tale is given in Bellezza 2008……Locally, this 6200 m tall mountain is known as Gekhö Nyenlung, Polha Gekhö Gangkhar and Polha Wangtang Karp. Its polha (male god) attribution suggests that at one time the Gekhö mountain was a regional ancestral spirit. According to local legend, the ancient Hor invaders of Rutok propitiated this god for military success. The main centers of propitaition were Rutok Dzongri (A-17) (see fn. 61) and a small outcrop to the east of this site called Nakchung Gongma. In Rutok, Gekhö Nyenlung is closely associated with the Hor deity Namtel Karp. A small yellow mountain beside it is associated with Bartel Trawo, while and even smaller adjacent ridge is the residence of Satel Nakpo. It is also said by some natives of Rutok that Gekhö Kharlung was originally a Mön deity. Rutok is recorded as the abode of Gekhö in ritual texts dedicated to this Bön tutelary deity (Bellezza Calling Down the Gods, 399, n. 199). In the Bön tradition, Gekhö is considered the chief god of ancient Zhang Zhung….. Extensive coverage of Gekhö and his circle of Zhang Zhung deities is found in Bellezza, Zhang Zhung…… A tutelary god of the Gekhö cycle..…..Antiquities of Zhang Zhung….by John Vincent Bellezza…http://www.thlib.org/bellezza/#!book=/bellezza2/wb/notes/
