c9.s2.t7.25

The inscriptions of Nepal generally record royal grants of land or privileges (*prasāda*) of various kinds, temple endowments or reconstructions, dedications of images or *liṅgas*, and so forth. In style and formula they generally resemble the corresponding types of records from India. On the whole, inscriptions of Brahmanical affiliation predominate, especially in the earlier period, but Buddhist records are also common throughout.
