MSS EUR HODGSON/17 Genealogy, history (vaṃśāvalis of the Gorkhali and
Newar rulers) 1826-1843 |
|
|
Various genealogies (vaṃśāvali) related to
Gorkha or Shah rulers and Newar rulers, translated into English from old
Nepali, some other historical materials (accounts). |
|
|
|
|
1[vol.17 fol(s)1-167] The "Gorkha Vaṃśāvali" compiled in
1837-1842 1843 Four separate, pre-bound notebooks. |
|
|
|
|
English (translated
from Nepali) |
|

|
The vaṃśāvali Volumes I-III of the
Gorkha or Shah rulers compiled at the command of the King of
Nepal in 1837-1842 containing an account up to the
reign of Pratapsingh Shah
(translation in Hodgson's and Campbell's handwriting). For
original in Nepali and Hindi, see [vol 51/04
fol.5-107] . Hasrat's published version of the
translated chronicle differs somewhat from the original because both
this and Hodgson's summary translation end with the account of the reign
of Pratapsingh Shah, whereas Hasrat's text continues until the time of
Girvanyuddha Bikram
Shah so it must have been based either on another, longer
version of this chronicle or on a combination of this manuscript and
another one. There are numerous other discrepancies between Hasrat's
text and Hodgson's original, see [Hasrat_1970:100-167]. |

Hodgson's copy of the vaṃśāvali covering
incidents in brief up to the time of Prithvinarayan Shah's first
marriage with the daughter of King
Hemkarna Sen of Makawanpur. Nepali title
Gorkhā Vaṃśāvali on the cover page and some other text
inside. This seems to be the English summary of an original chronicle
compiled at the instruction of General Mathbarsingh Thapa, see [vol 45/01
fol.a long
scroll] . Cross reference [vol 18/4
fol.11-26] , part of which appears to be a
longer summary of the same Nepali original. |

3[vol.17 fol(s)173-219] The chronicle (vaṃśāvali) of the
Newar Kings Volume I, or Account of Nepal according to Buddhist

An Account of Nepal proper (Kathmandu
Valley) with "sacred legends and vaṃśāvali of
the Newar Kings" according to Buddhist and
Brahminical authorities (Volume II of this appears in Volume 16, see
[vol 16/01
and 02
fol.1-105] ). Bikram Jit
Hasrat's narrative of Nepal's history from ancient times
seems to have been based on this text. Hasrat claims that the author of
this chronicle numbered as 'Book 1' is Padmagiri, [Hasrat 1970:viii, lxxxv]. However, there is no mention of this
name in the chronicle. For original Nagari versions, cross reference
[vol 55/09
fol.31-71][vol 52/02
fol.7-52] . |
