Abstract:

Jīvanṛsiṃha, a member of the Cikã Bahī, established this bāhāḥ together with the caitya in 1878 (NS 998). He wished that his father Bhājudhana and mother Mayju Thakunī would dwell in the Sukhāvatī Bhuvana (the Buddhafield of Amitābha). Jīvanṛsiṃha was supported by his stepmother Dhana Thakunī, his wife Lakṣmī Thakunī, his sons Kulamāna Siṃha, Ratnamāna Siṃha, Kulabahādura Siṃha, Gaṇeśabahādura Siṃha, and his daughter Yogamāyā.
