Arjī---
Uprānta: I am your long-time servant, 72 years old, who has been living on your salt and water.2 I have in mind [now] to report (lit. request) to you what I am able to understand [from your horoscope]. I looked at [the current planets and your birth horoscope], Dubala Pādhyā, a Gorkhālī 80 years old who is an old and close [friend of mine], having told me to do so and present [the reading to you]. [There] are planets in all four kendras,3 in the arrangement (yoga) [called] catussāgara.4 [in the birth horoscope of lord] ---5 . This arrangement applies also to you. The position of the planets on [your] birth horoscope has been sent [to you]. One of your planetary aspects improved when the 24th day of Śrāvaṇa passed. [Further,] one [other] planetary aspect will become better when the 25th day of Caitra passes. All [your] undertakings will attain their goal, according to the dinapramāṇa calculation. I am [your] servant [and have] reported [the situation] to the extent that [I] am able to understand it. Your kindness in excusing any discrepancies will be needed. Auspiciousness.
Hundreds and thousands of auspicious blessings as uttered in the four Vedas from [your] servant [and] well-wisher Kṛṣṇānanda Lohanī.
Commentary
The identity of the author of the present document, Kṛṣṇānanda Lohanī, is uncertain. One possible candidate is a man of that name who is mentioned as a subbā in the Judicial Regulations of King Gīrvāṇa issued in 1806 and is ordered to enforce the regulations laid down in the region west of the Kanaka and Tista rivers and east of the Mahakali River (see M. C. Regmi 1971: 128).
