Englishśivika-dvāra, nt., acc. to Tib. (lho sgo) on 〔139.15〕, south gate (of a city): MSV 〔iii.139.15 ff.〕 (in 16, °raṃ rātryāṃ dvau yāmau vivṛtaṃ tiṣṭhati, pūrvakam paścimakaṃ [Page529-a] ceti, implying a double gate, both parts open)
in 〔iii.137.12〕 tad eva te °raṃ bhavanam, that very same śi° is your home. I cannot explain śivika
but for Tib., I should suspect relation to Pali sivikā-gabbha, Vin. 〔ii.152.18〕, acc. to comm. = caturassa-g°, rectangular
but this is equally obscure. Could śivika, as if auspicious, be a euphemism for the unlucky south ?
