Aarya in Buddhism means something which is noble, valuable or out of the ordinary. The word “Khasti”, in Nepal Bhasa, is the name given to the Boudhanath Stupa. Khasti or the dew drop stupa comes from merging of yet another two Nepal Bhasa words “khasu” meaning fog and “ti” meaning liquid. According to a legend, the Boudhanath Stupa was constructed by the liquid gathered from the morning fogs(dew drops). Hence the word khasti came into being and the stupa was named after it. During the reign of then King Dharmadeva, the kingdom used to face serious drought calamities which would last upto 12 years
