No. 51. Saмvat 489 Chapalиgаuм Inscription

A slab of stone, about 33 cm wide and 75 cm long, standing on the road in the village of Tsapaligaon, about 3 miles north of Kathmandu on the way to Budhаnиlakaнтha. Its top is decorated with a chakra and two щankhas. Date: Saмvat 489 Щrаvaнa щukla 12. At the present time the stone is totally damaged. My reading is based on the rubbing taken in 1940. The year symbol is clear. (R).
Bhaттаraka Mahаrаja Щrи Gaнadeva from Mаnagriha. On the advice (vijгаpitena) of Sarvadaндanаyaka Mahаpratihаra Щrи Bhaumagupta; щilаpaттakena prasаdaх kрta; Vriшavarman bent before Bhaттаraka (Central part is damaged, but from the formulations, the text look like as the standart grant). Records the grant (prasаda) to the inhabitants of a Tuгcat-catugrаma (Bhatt. in her list placed abstract based on the strong different reading).
