द्वितीय राजतरङ्गिणी (जोनराज - कल्हणोत्तर मध्यकालीन कश्मीर का प्रामाणिक इतिहास)

khāna. I will narrate the account of this Khāna from
his boyhood, how he arrived into the kingdom, and

Shṛiṅgārasīha, brought him to Rājapurī. The lord of
Rājapurī bore ill will towards the Mārgesha, and with
a view to secure a protector he caused Phatāhakhāna
to be brought to him. Now owing to the murder
of Jonarājānaka, the Ḍāmaras and Edharājānaka,
