The Authority File is a curated register of selected persons, places, regions, and organizations mentioned in the documents edited on this platform. Unlike the Attestations, which record every occurrence as it appears in a given text, entries here represent a single, disambiguated identity, bringing together variant name forms, dates, genealogical and institutional relationships, and other historical details drawn from across the corpus. Where possible, entries are linked to established external authorities (GND, VIAF, Wikidata, and GeoNames), situating the persons and places of pre-modern Nepal within the broader landscape of linked open data.

Vaidya and Manandhar 1985: 149 refer to a letter on judicial a matter from Bhīmasena Thāpā to a certain Lieutenant Bhawani Singh Khatri dated 1830. Whelpton 1991: 181 n.53 reports of a sardāra Bhawani Singh as one of the aides of Māthavara Siṃ Thāpa in 1844. Whelpton 1991: 136 further mentions that this Bhawanī Singh Khatri fled to India together with Abhimāna Siṃ Basnyāt in 1845. He was killed shortly after the Kot Massacre of 1846 (Whelpton 1991: 163). However, it cannot be determined with certainty that both persons are the same; probably Bhavānibhakta Khatṛ is still another person. #checked# | View details |
