No. 96. Pharpiк
| Stone lying in a field near the
village of Pharping, situated 4-1/2 miles to the south west of Kathmandu on a ridge
skirting the valley was an inscribed stone when I explored the region in 1952-53. Later it
was traced in Guкkhel by the side of the road near the Nakhu village. The stone wholly
readable even though fragmentary is now in the Government Museum in Patan. There is no
date because of damage. The inscribed part is 36-1/4 cm wide and 21 cm long. (R). Щrи Kalahаbhimаnin (i.e., Aмщuvarmman) Records construction of a water conduit. |
