No. 62. Saėvat 517 (Gn 518) Bóähānčlkaíōha Stone Inscription
| A slab of stone standing near
the gate of the walled tank of Ųeøaøāyč Viøíu called Bóähānčlakaíōha near the
foot of the Ųivapuri hill, 4 miles due north of Kathmandu. The top of the stone has a
design of flowers. The stone is broken into two pieces. The piece giving the text up to 10
lines as published by BLI still exists. Another piece is missing. But there is a rubbing
of this fragment from which the rest of the inscription is available. The inscribed space
is 40 cm wide and 60 cm long. Date: Saėvat 518 according to Gnoli, but following the
preceding inscription it is safe to read it as 7. Probably both were issued on the same
day. (R). Bhaōōāraka Mahārāja Ųrč Ųivadeva from Mānagriha.
