Life
His ancestry is still a topic of debates among scholars. Many agree that he was a prince of Bhadgaon and was exiled because he was born under the wrong astrological sign.[3] It could also be the situation that Yogamati had installed Yogaprakash as the king as she was still influential at that time.[2] He was also a religious monarch like his predecessors and donated several items to temples and guthis.[2]
He died in 1729 and was succeeded by Vishnu Malla, a descendant of Srinivasa Malla.[1]
