No. 52. Saмvat 492 Lalitpur, Maкgal-bajаra, Water Conduit Stone.

A stele in the courtyard of a water conduit behind Manimaндapa. The Manimaндapa is an open platform with wooden pillars in front of a temple of Щiva, which stands by the right side of Bhimsena temple in Mangal Bazar, Patan. My reading is based on a rubbing taken in 1940. The date is 492 Vaiщаkha щukla 13. The inscribed part is 25 cm wide and 20 cm long. The verses are all in Щаrdуlavikriдita metre. (R).
Records the construction of a water conduit and grant of land (kшetraм dattaм as akшayaниya) for the enhancement of virtues of Bharavи's parents and himself.
