The name of the ruler after Vasanthanadeva is not known but the Bageshwar inscription mentions that Kharparadeva became king sometime after Basantadeva.

Which is known as Nimber. The records can be said to be based on the premise that the son of Nimbar, Ishtagan would have been the first independent ruler of Nimbar dynasty. Because the word <strong>Parambhattaraka Maharajadhiraja Parmeshwar<\/strong> <strong>(\u092a\u0930\u092e\u092d\u091f\u094d\u091f\u093e\u0930\u0915 \u092e\u0939\u093e\u0930\u093e\u091c\u093e\u0927\u093f\u0930\u093e\u091c \u092a\u0930\u092e\u0947\u0936\u094d\u0935\u0930)<\/strong> has been used in the records for him. The two Tamrapatras (Copper plate) of the 21st and 22nd years of Lalitashur, the son of Ishtagan and Queen Vegdevi, are preserved in Pandukeshwar. After Lalitsur Dev, the king of this place became Bhudev, who opposed the Buddhist religion.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\"><strong>Pal Dynasty<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\">On the basis of the Baijnath inscriptions, it can be said that in the eleventh and twelfth centuries, kings named Lakhanpal, Tribhuvanpal, Rudrapala, Udayapala, Charoonpal, Mahipala, Anantpal, etc. Pal ruled in Katyur. But in the thirteenth century, Pal left Katyur and moved to Uku near Ashkot, and there he established the Pal dynasty.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\">All historians are unanimous that the vast empire of Katyuris came to an end due to the tyrannical rule of Brahmadeva.
