Yoga Narendra Malla

Early life Yoganarendra was involved in administering the kingdom from his early age because of his father. However, his relationships with the local feudal lords soon began to deteriorate especially against a person named Bhagirath Bhaiya. Yoganarendra also indulged himself in illicit activities which caused his father to abdicate so that Yoganarendra would be busy ruling the kingdom.

Personal life Like his ancestors, Yoganarendra also was a religious monarch. He reformed many religious activities and also set up an image of Bhima killing Dushasana. He was poisoned to death by an agent of Bhadgaon while he was directing an attack against it in 1705.

Literary works Yoga Narendra Malla is known to compose two dramas in the Newar language. These are: Mādhavānala kāmakuṇḍala Vikramāditya Pyākhana
