May glorious Durgā protect [us].

Glorious Matsyendranātha - 1

41

Hail! A rukkā of thrice venerable Rājarājeśvarī Devī, the principal queen of the venerable king of great kings, [and] ever a fortunate one

Āge: To Rāmānanda Paṇḍita Bā̃ḍā of the city of Patan.

It is learned that when your ancestor Jīvarāja Bā̃ḍā built a golden vimāna and offered it to the chariot of -1- [i.e., glorious Matsyendranātha]2 , he bought 69 ropanīs of plots with his own money3 , joyfully dedicated them to glorious Matsyendranātha, got the Luthāma Guṭha authorized by the government (sarkāra) and offered it [as well to the deity]. It is [also] learnt that Jīvarāja established a guṭha, stating: "Whenever the vimāna is broken, one should repair it using [revenue from] the harvest of the aforementioned plots." Even when [the guṭha] was forcibly taken by others through a mohara [document], you have been repairing [the vimāna] with your own household property until today, considering it as your ancestral duty. No other persons are allowed to claim the guṭha as long as a descendant of Jīvarāja remains. Therefore, given that, having failed to receive [accurate] information, we issued a rukkā to another person,4 [allowing him to assume overseership of the guṭha], [but that we now] understand the details, we today have issued [this] rukkā in accordance with the mohara5 so that no one shall be allowed to seize the guṭha established by Jīvarāja Bā̃ḍā from his descendants. We have granted you [this rukkā] so that no others can claim [the guṭha] as long as a descendant of yours remains. Choose at will tenants to cultivate the plots, be conscientious and enjoy [the surplus fruits].

Thursday, the 6th of the bright fortnight of Āśvina in the [Vikrama] era year 1860 (1803 CE). Auspiciousness. --- 56
