epithet 1 Rajalladevi-pati ’ already referred to, several additional details 
of interest are supplied. Among them is the name of the minister 
Jayata who figures also in the chronicle (V 3 ) at f. 54 b, as SnupadhyS, 
[ya] in connection with the names of the king and queen. 
The next king was Jayasimharama who may well have been a 
regent, as in the year mentioned (516) the eldest son was only 19 years 
of age . l 
I have elsewhere called attention to the curious triple regency of 
the three sons of Jayasthiti, confirmed as it is by two contemporary 
MSS. It is worth noting that the three princes did not divide the 
kingdom, but all ruled together in the little town of Bhatgaon which 
then was the capital. Three years later Jayadharmamalla is said in 
an inscription at Patan to be reigning as yuvaraj, an expression which 
would imply that Jayasthiti was still alive, in retirement. I give the 
text of the documents below. 2

Of Jayadharma as actual king we have no trace. The second son 
Jyotirmalla is recorded in the inscription (Bhagvanlal No. 16) already 
quoted to have been reigning in N.S. 533 apparently as sole king, 
though his brothers are mentioned. As he restored the Hindu shrine 
of Pasupati and the Buddhist shrines on the Svayambhu hill we may 
perhaps conclude that he reigned over the whole valley. In the three 
MSS. given in the Table Jyotirmalla is mentioned as reigning alone

The opening of the inscription found by me in 1884, as described, but not pub¬

(I.print it with all its characteristic errors of spelling, etc.) :—
