Wednesday, the 19th solar day (gate) of Bhādra in the [Vikrama] era year 1964 (1907 CE). Auspiciousness.
The document complements a bakapatra supplied by Ṭīkārāma in VS 1964, Śrāvaṇa 10 gate (see K_0469_0042), and contains a number of details not found elsewhere (e.g. the payment of a salāmī and the specifications regarding the time of Chatranātha's enthronement). It was probably among the documents which were sent in support of a petition by Lokanātha to be recognized as successor to the throne (see K_0469_0033).
