| Abstract: |
A letter from Nihā Giri to Rāya Bhāthi regarding financial disputes and trade mismanagement. Giri explains that Kuvera Bhāthi, allegedly acting on Rāya Bhāthi's instructions, demanded money or a horse in exchange for services, leading Giri to reluctantly give a horse. Giri questions the fairness of bearing all expenses, particularly for six horses belonging to Rāya Bhāthi, which have cost 650 moharas. He also challenges the claim of loss in the brocade business, stating that Rāya Bhāthi had full control over pricing and decisions. Giri further criticizes the undervaluation of goods sold in Nepal compared to their price in Lhāsa and raises doubts about the handling of materials like Vucā and coral. He urges Rāya Bhāthi to reassess the situation and verify the pricing and losses. |
