को joins the noun. तर्फबाट stays as a separate word after it. With a pronoun, को takes the usual form: मेरो तर्फबाट, हाम्रो तर्फबाट.

The phrase is common in speeches, notices and news. A host may say आयोजकको तर्फबाट सबैलाई स्वागत छ. A news report may say सरकारको तर्फबाट शोक व्यक्त गरियो.

It does not name who did the action; द्वारा does that. को तर्फबाट shows for whom the action is done.
