		3[vol.51 fol(s)5-107] Genealogical account of Gorkha Kings (Gorkhāvaṃśāvali) Nepali hand-made paper, very neat writing of Hodgson's Khardar Jitman or Jitmohan (Singh).
				Nepali Hindi
				Genealogical history (Gorkhāvaṃśāvali) collected from the Royal Palace of Nepal to the time of Pratapsingh Shah (reigned 1775-1777), in Nepali except for the first section dealing with the time of Dravya Shah (reigned c. 1559-1570), which is in Hindi with a very detailed description of events. The whole account up to the reign of Prithvinarayan's father Narbhupal Shah has been published by Dinesh Raj Pant [Pant_1993:937-938, 951-1072], whilst what appears to be a combination of Hodgson and Jitmohan's summary translation of this document (see [vol 17/01 fol.1-67] ), together with additional material, has been published in [Hasrat_1970 :99-167]. For further discussion of this text and related accounts, see [Acharya_1967:36-38] and [Baral_1964:13-15]. Acharya suggests that the author of this account is Khardar Sherman Singh but from the handwriting it seems clear that it is actually the work of Sherman's brother and Hodgson's Khardar Jitman or Jitmohan. Another brother of Jitman or Jitmohan was also the author of a similar genealogical account known as Bhāṣāvaṃśāvali. It seems that the genealogical account known as Gorkhāvaṃśāvali which includes details of Gorkha's military campaigns has been scattered in various places in two volumes, see [vol 51/03 fol.5-107][vol 51/15 fol.204-220][vol 51/16 fol.221-222][vol 52/05 fol.57-65][vol 52/11 fol.108-116][vol 52/12 fol.117-123][vol 52/18 fol.180-181] .
