Venerable Durgājyū

Venerable Gurupaṇḍitarāja, the Venerable Raṅganātha Paṇḍitajyū 11

Fivefold Venerable King Father 22

Hail! [A decree] of him who is shining with manifold rows of eulogy [such as] ‘The venerable crest-jewel of the multitude of mountain kings’ and Naranārāyaṇa etc., high in honour, the venerable supreme king of great kings, the thrice venerable great king, Rājendra Vikrama Śāha, the brave swordsman, the divine king always triumphant in war.

Among the 9| khetas [of land] that were granted by ritual declaration (saṃkalpa) as a kuśabirtā-bitalapa to -1- (i.e., Venerable Gurupaṇḍitarāja, the Venerable Raṅganātha Paṇḍitajyū) on Sunday, the 12th of the bright fortnight of Kārttika in the [Vikrama] era year 1863 from the hand of -2- (i.e., Fivefold Venerable King Father)—as remuneration (dakṣiṇā) for the Purāṇa [recitation] during Cāturmāsā—are: 4| khetas [of land] in the area of Thānasiṃ [known as] Bhairavakuṇḍa 1| kheta [in] Sayamuryā, |36 khetamurīs of maize fields and building land (ghaḍyāri) [in] Kukhuryā-Ādhyā; [separate plots of] 63 ropanīs [and] 28 ropanīs from [a single plot of] 4| khetas in Baḍegāu— altogether 91 ropanīs—and instead of |64 khetamurīs, 6| khetas in total of forest and groves (vanelo), bluffs (bhira), low-lying land (bhābara), building land and unirrigated slopes (pākho). The borders [of this last plot], including [those of] the building land and unirrigated slopes: in the east, the border demarcations (lohakila) are the raikara wet-rice land, the pākho belonging to the Brahmin Bhaḍāri, the rivulet (kholsi), the large boulder, the level path (terso bāṭo), the water channel, the “Rock Wall Pass” (paharobhañjyāṅ); in the south, the border demarcation is the main pathway (mūlabāṭo); in the west, the border demarcations are "Banyan Pass" (varabhañjyāṅ), the rivulet of Bhagīra Brāhmacāri and Śrīkṛṣṇa Adhikāri’s birtā, the confluence (dobhāna) of the Jyogi River and the raikara land; in the north, the border demarcations are the raikara wet-rice land and the confiscated birtā of the Brahmin Bhaḍāri. We issued a copperplate with seal (moharatāmrapatra) for the land within these four border demarcations, having exempted it from absolutely all taxes (sarvakara akara sarvāṅka). Enjoy happiness from generation to generation, knowing it with contentment to be [your] birtābitalapa. Keep on blessing us. When this birtā was granted, the reciter of the saṃkalpa was the priest (purohita) Yadunātha, the water-pourer was the Venerable General Bhīmasena Thāpā, the [persons] marking the boundaries were the thara-gharas Kāsirāma Pāḍe, Śrīnātha Paṃtha, Bhavāni Saṃkara Arjyāl, Bhānu Pādhyā Ṣanāl, Vaṃsavira Rānā [and] Harivaṃsa Vohorā, both Bhāskara Pādhyā and Kṛṣṇānanda Pādhyā Rimāl, Ḍagola Dhanavanta [and] Nāyak Jagata Siṃju; the village notables (bhalā mānisa) from Thānasiṃ: DvāryāSarmānanda Adhīkāri [and] the tharīs Pūrṇānanda Bhaḍāri, Virabhadra Bhaḍārī, Śrīkṛṣṇa Adhikāri, Rāmakṛṣṇa Acārja, Rāmacandra Vāsavoṭā, Dharmānanda Dhitāl, Rāmacandra Nevapānyā, Kālu Rimāl, Raṃjīta Rucāl, Sarvajita Vasnyāt, Devanārān Dhitāl, Dāmu Dhitāl, Vāsudeva Ṣatṛ, Kālu Ṣatri, Cāmu Bhaḍāri, Bhimasina, Bhima Rāī, Mādhau Danuvāra [and] Cāmyā Nevāra. Whoever seizes land given by himself or somebody else will be reborn as a worm in feces for sixty thousand years.

Wednesday, the 2nd of the dark fortnight of Śrāvaṇa in the [Vikrama] era year 1890. Auspiciousness.

Through (mārphat) Raṇajora Thāpā.3
