Default Translation

Hey Tabarzin,

Credit for the Urdu translation go's to Manouchehr and Mumtaz Baber, curiously enough Mumaz believes both inscriptions to be Urdu and the Urdu translation for the saying form Quran is the same.

"Rajah Sumesser Rav Bahadur"

Rajah means King/Ruler/Noble , as Manoucher Jan Stated ,

so I'd say it translates as Rajah Sumesser the Brave .

Sumesser is the king's name, though his name may be Sumesser Rav ,

and "Bahadur" means The Brave.


Now, we just need to find out the signifigance of the number on the spine.
