: Brill: Śaivism and the Tantric Traditions (history)

Բ𱹲 (मानदेव) is the patron of the Mānavihāra monastery in Kathmadu valley.—According to the Gopālarājavaṃśāvalī, the earliest local chronicle, the following monasteries and caitya were named after the donor: the Mānavihāra by Բ𱹲, the Dharmadevacaitya by Dharmadeva, and the Devalavihāra by Devaladeva (Sanderson 2009, 74). The first one is confirmed by its mention in an undated inscription assigned to his reign (Sanderson 2009, 75). Several of the monasteries of the Kathmadu valley are attributed to kings of the period of the Ṭhākurī kings—most probably Kuladatta flourished in this period—in inscriptions, palm-leaf deeds, manuscript colophons, or their own tradition. But no monastery or caitya named after a king is reported (Sanderson 2009, 77�80).
