Inscription carved on a water-conduit slab of stone in Naksāl, just before the Bhagavatī temple, Dilli Bazār, Kathmandu. Saṃvat 78.
Om! By bravery, courage, victory, renunciation, and reputation, by admirable qualities worthy of a lord unique and easily available—all combined in competition, such was he, king Narendraveda is ruling this earth, which came to him in dynastic succession. Now, he who renounced his happiness and did not care to stoop to achieve welfare of others, with increased fortune in attempt to make others happy by the grace of his lotus like feet, Viṣṇudeva, satisfying his soul, in order to help the Brāhmaṇas and others of this world to purify their body ritually 3 times a day, constructed a water conduit of stone with a well which is all equipped with a water drawing instrument. After accomplishing this, he hoped by the seed of that virtuous act to start many more such works. The date: Samvat 78 Kārtika śukla 9 on the day of anniversary of the beginning of the Satyayuga.
