[1][2] The origin of Vira Narasimha Malla is still debated among scholars 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.
