Succession

After the death of Riddhi Narasimha in 1717, there were no any legitimate heirs. The Kajis of Patan wanted Ranajit Malla, the then heir apparent of Bhadgaon, to take over as the King of Patan. Due to the influence of Yogamati, Bhaskara Malla of Kantipur was proclaimed as the king. Bhaskara Malla reigned as Mahindrasimha Malla in Patan.
