Rājavaṃśāvalī (राजवंशावली) refers to an “ancient royal biography of kings”.—Cf. the Gopālarājavaṃśāvalī: a 14th-century hand-written manuscript of Nepal which is primarily a genealogical record of Nepalese monarchs.—One of the most important and popular chronicles in Nepalese history is by this name. This vaṃśāvalī was previously called Bendall Vaṃśāvalī, as Prof. Cecil Bendall found the manuscript “in the cold weather of 1898–99 in Kathmandu's Durbar Library” or the Bir Library. This was later, and popularly, called the Gopālarājavaṃśāvalī by scholars as Baburam Achayra and Yogi Naraharinath to name a few, as a hand-written catalog list of the library termed the manuscript “gopālavaṃśādi prācīna rājavaṃśāvalī”, meaning “ancient royal vamshavali starting with Gopala dynasty”.
