The origin of Namsoong relates back to the origin of human beings. According to the belief of the Lepchas, ItbuDebu Rum, the God of Lepchas created Fodong Theing and Nazaong Nyu, the first Lepcha male and female respectively, from the sacred snowflakes of Kong Tsen Lo Shum Ja Bung Cho (Lepcha name for Mt. Khangchendzonga) and sent them to. Mayel Lyang. (the heaven of Lepchas). Itbu Debu Rum strictly ordered them to remain as brother and sister. With them a dog name whulbu was also sended by God as messenger .As time passed they failed to keep the word of God and secretly started living as husband and wife. To hide their relationship from God, they threw away seven children one after another, who survived as an evil incarnation. After throwing away seven children, Nazaong Nyu felt guilty and her motherly heart could not bear the pain, therefore she gave birth to their eighth son and decided to keep him. Thereafter, all the children born grew up in Mayel Lyang and later called as MutanchiRongkup or son of nature. The evil/demon brothers grew jealous and started causing troubles upon lucky brothers and sisters of the Mayel Lyang. The Ronkups (Lepchas) called upon Itbu Debu Rum (God) prayed to save them from demon brothers. The prayer was heard and God obliged them by sending Tamsang Theing, the most sacred creature made of purest flakes of Mt. Pandim who was bestowed with immense strength and power. Tamsang Theing was to rescue the Ronkups from oppression and torture of their evil brothers, but he did not fight with Lasso Moong Pano (the eldest one and demon king) himself. To help Rongkups to fight against the demons, he created the first Lepcha Bongtheing (Jor Bongtheing) and Lepcha Mun (NyolikNyosong) who fought against the demon king Lasso Moong Pano for twelve years. laso mung punu has mystic
