No. 56. Saìvat 512 Viøíupàdukà hill
| A stele at the foot hill near
Budhanilakantha in the upper reach of the Viøíumati river as it touches the slightly
raised ground above the even ground level of the Valley. The stele is in the same spot as
the Ùivalinga inscription. The initial few lines and the top are lost. The inscribed part
covers a space of 25 cm wide and 64 cm long. The date is 512 Jyeøòha ùukla 10. This is
the first inscription of Ùivadeva It's reign without Amùuvarma's presence in it but with
Bhaumagupta who seems to have continued as Chief Minister. The passage in verse is in
Ùràgdharà metre. (R) Bhaòòàraka Mahàràja Ùrè Ùivadeva, dutaka - Mahàbalàddhyakøa Kulapravèra On the advice (vijãàpitena) of Sarvadaíäanàyaka Mahàpratihàra Bhaumagupta, ùilàpaòòakena prasàdaõ kðta; samàjãàpanà Records the grant (prasàdaõ) to the Thaìtuìrè-draêga (Bhatt. - Thaêturè-draêga), which reduced the Mallakara (not more 1 kàrøàpaía could be collected). |
