No. 88. Saмvat 45 Kathmandu, Chitlang.

On a slab of stone lying inside a small temple of Ganeщa not far from Chitlang, a village at the foot of the Chandragiri hill (7000 ft high) from the southern and western side. The inscription belongs to the reign of Udayadeva and is the only extant indigenous record in his name. The date symbol and letters in some lines are damaged. The inscribed part is 34 cm wide and 56 cm long. The date 40 is marked but another symbol can only be conjectural between 5 and 8 (R).
