Nine storied, as in “a nine-storied building.” Perhaps the most famous example of a Tibetan nine-storied building is Milarepa's tower. When encountering such buildings or towers, recall that the number nine is particularly significant in Bön and Nyingma religious contexts (where it it is suggestive of their nine vehicles).
