No. 62. Saìvat 517 (Gn 518) Bóähànèlkaíòha Stone Inscription
| A slab of stone standing near
the gate of the walled tank of Ùeøaøàyè Viøíu called Bóähànèlakaíòha near the
foot of the Ùivapuri 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: Saìvat 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). Bhaòòàraka Mahàràja Ùrè Ùivadeva from Mànagriha. Dutaka - Vipravarmma Gomin From the advice (vijãàpitena) of Ùrè Mahàsàmanta Aìùuvarman; prasàdo vaõ kðta Records the grant (prasàda) to the inhabitants of a pàãchàlè Àêlàbaka and Narasiìha - it concluded with the rights to the representatives (adhikðta) of Kóther-vðtti to enter this places only for the collection of three taxes (trikaramàtrasàdhana).
