Kapardar Bhotu Pande or Shatrubhanjan (Nepali: शत्रुभन्जन "भोटु" पाँडे) (born 1763) was a Nepalese politician, military personnel and courtier in the Kingdom of Nepal. He was member of the Gora Pande clan of Gorkha and the youngest son of Kaji Tularam Pande. Tularam had five sons.[2] Three of them were Jagajit Pande, Ranajit Pande and Bhotu Pande.[4]
Kapardar Bhotu Pande installed an inscription on the Bishnumati bridge. The inscription explains his patrilineal relationship to Ganesh Pande, Minister of Drabya Shah, the first King of Gorkha Kingdom.[5] The lineage mentions Ganesh Pande's son as Vishwadatta and Vishwadatta's son as Birudatta. Birudatta had two sons Baliram and Jagatloka. Bhotu Pande mentions Tularam, Baliram, and Birudatta respectively as his ancestors of three generations.
