Gopalarajavamshavali

The Gopalarajavamshavali is a chronicle of the kings of Nepal, written partly in Sanskrit and partly in Nepal Bhasa and compiled in the late 14th century, probably under King Jayasthiti Malla. It lists the dynasties of the Kathmandu Valley from the legendary cowherd kings and the Kiratas to the Licchavis and Mallas, with more detailed records for later reigns. It is the oldest surviving chronicle of Nepal.
