| Abstract: |
This copper plate addressed to Mahanta Amar Giri retains 3 maujās of land as kuśa-birtā dedicated to the deity. This endowment was originally made by Indra Vidhātā, King of Mackwānpur in 1114 (Fusli Sun) to Caturbhuja Giri. The maujās made tax exempted. Later, it was confirmed by King Hema Karṇa Sen to Candana Giri in V.S. 1808. After the regions integrated into the Gorkhā kingdom, the trust was reconfirmed by King Pṛthvī Nārāyaṇa Śāha, King Pratap Siṃha Śāha, King Raṇa Bahādura Śāha and King Gīrvāṇa Yuddha Vikram Śāha respectively in V.S. 1826, V.S. 1831, V.S. 1834 and V.S. 1863 in favour of Mahanta Guru Revā Giri and Mahanta Amar Giri. The Mahanta is required to conduct daily rituals and dispense Sadāvarta alms. |
