Reign
editIt is believed that Jayajyotir's reign co-existed with his two brothers' after the death of his father in 1395. His elder brother, Jayadharma was given the full royal titles in Kathmandu, and Patan, while all three brothers were the joint rulers in Bhadgaon. Among the three brothers, Jyoti Malla lived the longest, and eventually assumed the title of King of the whole Kathmandu valley in 1408. He was succeeded by his son Yakshya Malla in 1428. [2]
