"rgod  conscript soldiers of the Tibetan empire.  Rgod served for a fixed term in the regiment raised from the stonsde.  In 654 the Tibetan population was formally divided into rgod soldiers and gyung workers.  A similar division may have been applied as early as the reign of Namri Songtsen, since the stonsde system was already in operation."
