| Abstract: |
This is a royal land grant tāmrāpatra issued by King Rājendra and dated the 14th day of the dark fortnight of Bhādra in VS 1887 (1830 CE). The document references an earlier grant made to Captain Udaibahādura on Wednesday, the 3rd day of the bright fortnight of Pauśa in VS 1885 concerning a house on birtā land in Mahabauddha Ṭola, Kathmandu. It notes that this property had been used as a residence for Christian missionaries (pādri) since earlier in the time of Malla rule. Upon the death of the missionary who was living there, the property had been given to Udaibahādura and his family to use during the reign of Gīrvāṇayuddha Vīra Vikrama Śāha. The present royal order allows them to continue occupancy of the property, while instructing them not to encroach on bordering property. A description of the property (including its dimensions), a list of and bordering properties (together with the names of their owners) and a list of persons assigned to formally demarcate the borders are provided. |
