No. 155. Cobhаr (Chobar?)

Formerly monastery to the south from Kathmandu; not publ. by Vajracharya Records a grant for the welfare of the people of a village (?) and forbids the entry of the officials from the Liкgvala and Щolla departments in that paгchаlika. (The inscription is badly damaged). (Bhatt. referred to R. 114)
Chobar is the name of the gorge cut by the river Bagmati through the rocky plateau, near which a shrine of Ganeщa amidst a cluster of houses is situated. Here a site known as charghare (four houses) bears a large stone rock-like in appearance on which the following lines are engraved. But the letters are heavily damaged, and it is difficult to assign a meaning to them. Perhaps this is a charter, as names of two offices of State occur and it could be guessed that their entry was barred in a certain locality. The inscription also does not show any date. (R).
