Origin: Sanskrit
In ancient tradition, one faces the rising sun (East) during rituals. In this stance, your ‘Right Hand’ points directly South. Therefore, by combining ‘Orientation’ with ‘Right Hand’, [ทักษิณ] literally translates to ‘The direction on the right’ (South).
Transliteration: gaan-hàae-sòp chái gaan-wiian-thák-sǐn
Translation: The funeral procession uses the “Thaksin” (Right-side/Clockwise) circumambulation.
