Overview
From Wikipedia, quoted unmodified under CC BY-SA 4.0; the article’s history is its list of authors.
Life
Roles and affiliation
Holding an office is not parentage and not discipleship.
What this means
As the records give them: every row is a third party’s statement, not a self-description, and a role or an affiliation is often held for one period of a life only. An affiliation is not a belief, and this site does not ask anyone about theirs. For an office: which one, for how long, and where the records give an ordinal or the holders either side. Recognition of a tenure is never universal: contested lines appear as overlapping tenures rather than as one corrected sequence.
Offices held 2

Religious context
What the records tie them to
Founded, supported, associated with — as third parties recorded it.
What this means
A founding is an attribution, usually contested, and not a claim that the tradition began fully formed. Patronage is an act, not a belief: it says nothing about the religion of a population, and nothing about the patron’s own practice in every period of a life. Domains are as sources record them — for a saint, usually a patronage — rarely exclusive, and not the same in every account.
Connections
How Prithvi Narayan Shah connects
Grouped by the kind of relationship, because a successor is not a son and a shared symbol is not an influence.
Succession in office 2
What this means
Who held an office after whom. Not parentage, not discipleship, and not universally recognised — offices are contested.
Does not imply parentage · discipleship · an explanation of why the succession happened

Recorded events and days 1
What this means
Events Wikidata records in a subject’s history, and the day a festival is kept. Not a complete history, and the day a festival falls on is not when it began.
Does not imply that these are all the events in its history · that Wikidata ranks the events by importance
