No. 121 Saìvat 89, Lalitpur, Vaòuka-bhairava temple inscription.
| A slab of stone, inscribed part
of which is about 40 cm wide and 54 cm long, is lying in the courtyard of the temple of
Baòuka Bhairava at the end of Lagankhel in Patan southern extremity of the city. The top
shows in a relief a dharmachakra with two deer one on each side. Date: Saìvat 89. The
stone is much damaged except for a few letters here and there and the date figure at the
end without its month and fortnight (lunar). (R). Probably from Bhadràdhivàsa Ràjaputra Janàrddana-varmman. The inscription is badly damaged. Most probably records the grant. |
