No. 69. Saмvat 535 Kathmandu, Jyа-bahаla. Inscription on the main road between Lagantol and Jaisideval.
| A slab of stone standing on the
road to Lagan in front of a house near Jyabahal to the east of Jaisideval in Kathmandu.
The inscribed part is 38 cm wide and 58 cm long. The top of the stone is broken and lost.
Date: Saмvat 535 Щrаvaнa щukla 7. The inscription is generally attributed to
Щivadeva in view of the era used herein. But it seems to me that through the Na-bahil
inscription was made a grant of land by Amsuvarmа functioning as the main ruler. The word
deva in our first line refers to a divinity and not to any king on the throne. (R). (Щiva)deva Rаjaputra Vikramasena. (The first, substantial portion of the epigraph is badly damaged). Records that different plots of land made as grant (prasаdиkрta). |
