rent-free tenure and the ensuing loss of land tax revenue to the
government (with the system of chāp and mānā chāmal) in the Kathmandu
Valley and some other smaller areas, revenue (land tax potā)
of Kathmandu. This investigation might be connected to King Rajendra's economy drive
in the late 1830s which also involved pay cuts for the army. King
Rajendra also issued a new code regarding social and financial reform in
VE 1896. For a copy of the code, see [vol 59/14
