The four part biography of King Prithivi Narayan Shah, founder of Modern Nepal is a key series of work he created.

[2] Nepal’s eminent historian late Baburam Acharya is credited with the Nepali name Sagarmatha (सगरमाथा)[3] for Mount Everest that straddles Nepal-China border.

Baburam wrote an essay in the late 1930s in which he said that among the local population of the remote Everest region the mountain was popular by the name Sagarmatha (meaning the Head of the Earth touching the Heaven); some even called it Jhomolongma.

In his own words:[4] In the map of Nepal published by the then Survey of India Office, the name of the tallest peak of the Himalayan Mountain range was written as Mount Everest.

Two decades after the publication of the essay, the Nepalese government gave official recognition to the name.
