Teipakh, or Tirshti
I know very little about the life-history of this deity, but he is very widely mentioned in the prayers and incantations of the Todas, and is one of their most important gods. He was the brother of Teikirzi, and differs from most other Toda deities in being a river god, Teipakh being the Toda name of the Paikara river.
Teipakh is the nòdrodchi of the Piedr and Kusharf clans.
Although there was considerable agreement that Teipakh [[188]]and Tirshti were one and the same god, there was some doubt about it, and, according to one account, Tirshti was only another name for Teikirzi.
