Hail! A rukkā of the supreme king of great kings
Following a daskata issued by subbāRudravīra Sāhī in the year [VS 18]74 stating: “In keeping with the fact that your ancestors6 carried the staff7 of -1- (i.e. the glorious goddess Tripurasundarī8 ) located in the Tripurākoṭ subdivision of Jumlā district and enjoyed [remuneration for the same], we told you to enjoy 1 pāthī of jhusyā9 from each household of the subdivision”, we , too, hereby maintain [the arrangement] and issue a lālamohara [to that effect]. Do service by carrying the staff of -1- (i.e. the glorious goddess Tripurasundarī), as has been done from earlier times, obey the orders of the priest10 and enjoy the pāthīs [of jhusyā] as has been customary.
The 10th day of the dark fortnight of Jyeṣṭha in the [Vikrama] era year 1901 (1844 CE). Auspiciousness.
