Life edit
The origin of Vira Narasimha Malla is still debated among scholars today and some propose that he was a descendant of Siddhi Narasimha Malla,[1] while others debate that Yogamati had remarried Vira Narasimha and made him a Malla king.[2][3]
After the death of Indra Malla, there was a political struggle for power between Yogamati, the daughter of Yogaprakash Malla, and Rajeswaridevi, a concubine of the same. The faction of Yogamati installed Vira Narasimha as the king in 1709 but that lasted for only a brief months. He was replaced by Vira Mahindra Malla in the same year. His name again appears on the documents from 1715 but without any royal titles.[1][2]
