Translation of the journal. 



The Trisuliganga issues from the Gosain's kund or well. This well 

 is 3492 paces round its four sides, the length being east and west and 

 tbe north and south (breadth) is small. From thence by estimate 

 the temple of Ganesh is 1^ kos. There is one stone image of Ganesh, 

 but neither village nor house of any sort. Thence Loharibindek is 

 2 kos (distant), where all those who travel with lathis or sticks are 

 forced to leave them. There is great delay (a large crooked stick ?) 

 about these sticks, but neither village nor house on the spot. Three 

 kos farther on comes Dhimsa village, containing 29 houses of labourers 

 (load-carriers). At 2\ kos beyond the Trisuliganga is met with at the 

 south foot of the hill. From the river at 1-J- kos comes the village of 

 Dhuncha, containing 56 houses of carriers : — -thence at 4 kos, Tharhea 

 village having 1 1 houses. Then Karang 2 kos off, with 7 houses. 4 kog 

 further Kakarea a village of 10 houses, inhabited by Newars and hill- 

 men. Thence 3 kos to Dhcemu ganw, containing 47 grass huts of Newars 

 and Parbattiahs. There is one pakka dwelling belonging to the raj- 

 guru. Thence to the bank of the Beta-rawti nadi is 2-^ kos ; there 

 are 8 banias' shops and one pakka temple, below which two rivers 

 flow : the Trisuliganga, the Betarawti : the former coming from the 

 north proceeds southward, its waters appear somewhat green to the 

 sight, and flow with great violence. The Betarawti, a smaller stream, 

 comes from the east and joins the other beneath the walls of the 



* We use se after the continental savans to represent the diphthong ^ or ^ in 

 contradistinction to di which is required for ^JTX of common occurrence in Hindi. 

 In the same manner ce would represent the compound vowel ^jj formed of o and e } 

 hut as the pronunciation would be apt to deceive, ao is perhaps the best represen- 

 tative of this diphthong. There should be a nasal n after gosain, and after the w 

 of kund, well, also in chdron, hud (for wahdn) and similar words mis-spelt by 

 the mistree.
