Historians have diverging views on \u201cKing Aramudi, who ruled Nepal, and who was possessed of wisdom and prowess, wished to prevail over him (King Jayapida) by cleverness\u201d[1]. Whether this \u201cfamous king of Nepaldesh\u201d[2]  was a king or a local \u2018chieftain\u2019[3] in the Kali Gandaki region, has been a question among the authorities.\r\n\r\n* Marc Aurel Stein, who first translated Kalhan\u2019s Rajtarangini into English approves of the battle of Kaligandaki in between Aramudi and Jayapida which Sylvain Levi has doubted. King Aramudi seems to have fallen prey to \u2018Project Hinduization\u2019 (Gurung, 1989)[4] or come within the virtual boundary of cultural modernization (Thapa, 2006)[5] in the country. If we believed in Levi\u2019s discussion then Aramudi appears to us to be a Tibetan administrator posted at Kali Gandaki Region(Levi 1905 -08)[6]. Following, the Levian footmarks, multitudes of others have also nominated Aramudi to be a Tibetan administrator. \r\n\r\n* Does King Aramudi\u2019s battle with Kashmiri King Jayapida in Kali Gandaki belong to \u201cdomain of romance\u201d ?[7] This question leads us to search through an obscure part of the Himalayan history relating to Kashmir\u2019s also, which is made full of controversies by different scholars. \r\n\r\n* There have been lots of research works on Mongols and Magyars but not that much on Mongols and the Magars of the Himalayan region. Some  Hungarian scholars believe their ancestors were from Central Asia and that is why (Alexander)S\u00e1ndor Csoma de K\u00f6r\u00f6s went to the Himalayas in search of his ancestors but died en route in Darjeeling in 1842."}, "key": "/works/OL15738751W", "title": "KASHMIR, KALHAN\u2019S RAJTARANGINI AND THE 'MAGAR KING ARAMUDI' IN OBSCURE HISTORY", "authors": [{"type": {"key": "/type/author_role"}, "author": {"key": "/authors/OL110590A"}}], "type": {"key": "/type/work"}, "last_modified": {"type": "/type/datetime", "value": "2013-03-04T07:47:55.722303"}, "covers": [7252118, 7252117, 7252009, 7251959, 7251958, 7251956, 7251955], "revision": 9}
