⁵ Prof. S. Lévi wrote in his *Le Népal* (Vol. II, p. 239) that Yakṣamalla's death took place towards 1480 A. D. But his death seems to have taken place before 1476 A.D. This is proved by a MS. of Pañcarakṣā in private possession, shown to Dr. L. D. Barnett in the British Museum, London. It is dated in *Svasti śrīmat-Paśupati-caraṇa-kamala-dhūli-dhūsarita - siroruha - śrīman - Mānyeśvarīṣṭa - devatā-varaladhya*-[*lege* : *labdha-vara-*] *prasāda-dedīpyamāna .....Mahārājādhirājā Rājārājendra-sakara*-[*lege* : *sakala-*] *rāja-cakrādhīśvara-śrī-śrī-Jaya-Nṛpendra-malla parama-bhaṭṭāraka-devānām sadā samala*-[*lege* : *samara-*] *vijayinā... ...vijayarājye......Samvat 596 jyeṣṭha-māse śukla-pakṣe pūrṇṇamāsyām tithau anurādha-nakṣatre siddhi-yoge.........In Kāṣṭha-maṇḍapanagara*. It is possible that Jayantpendramalla (A.D. 1476) was a son of Yakṣamalla who succeeded his father at Katmandu. If this is accepted then the Pārvatīyā *Vaṁśāvalī* consulted by Bhagawan Lal Indraji (*IA*, Vol. XIII, p. 415) which gives the name of Ratnamalla with the date N. S. 611 (A. D. 1491) as the immediate successor of Yakṣamalla at 'Kāṭmaṇḍu' must be wrong.
