Synopsis

This lālamohara from King Surendra, issued in VS 1932 (1875/76 CE), records and confirms the sale of a sunābirtā by Bhāju Dhan and Pāḍau Siṃ Lākhe from the Ṭunanī section of Tachu Ṭola in the city of Ṭhimī to Jasarāma Sālmī from the Sānanī section of Ināya Ṭola [in Bhaktapur?]. The document specifies the location of the kheta plot as Tyāḍola and its area as 1½ ropanīs, its borders being clearly described. The sunābirtā was sold for 126 rupees and a transfer tax (baksāunī) of 6 ānās, 1 paisā, 2 dāmas was collected through an amālī1 . The document confirms that the buyer holds his new possession as sunābirtā and is directed to pay the potā-tax for his land.

Notes

1. The backside of the manuscript suggests that the name of the amālī was Kuvera Josi, since that name there again follows mārphat; cf. DNA_0013_0109, where the collector of a transfer tax is mentioned on the back side in the same formulation. [⇑]
