Synopsis

In this sale deed, Cūḍāmaṇī Bhaṭṭarāi Jaisī, brother of Rāmeśvara Bhaṭṭarāī Jaisī, from Sipā Vaḍahare sells four slaves—a female slave, Kālī, aged 29; her two sons Dhane and Mane, aged 9 and 7 respectively; and a daughter, Putalī, aged 4—for 501 rupees to Pīra Mahanta Kulmān Giri, a resident of Bāneśvara. The seller agrees to repay the money in accordance with the Ain if his ownership of the slaves is disapproved. Cūḍāmaṇī Bhaṭṭarāī Jaisī drew up this paramabhaṭṭā, which was witnessed by Muktinātha Bhaṭṭarāī Jaisī, Loka Bāhādura Bhaṭṭarāī Khatrī, Sīvadatta Upādhyā Ācārya and Dasaratha Duvāl. The document is dated Friday, the 17th solar day (gate) of the month of Śrāvaṇa in the [Vikrama] era year 1965 (1908 CE).


Commentary

The same slave, Kālī, appears in document K_0348_0035, in which the owner Rāmeśvara Bhaṭṭarāī puts her up as collateral for taking out a loan from Narāṃ Kaśna Pradhāna. In document K_0348_0036, Rāmeśvara gives power of attorney to Cūḍāmaṇī Bhaṭṭarāī to transact the sale recorded in the current document.
