He is said to have ruled from 713 C.E. to somewhere around 733 C.E.[1][2] He kept good relations with Tibet and India.[3]

He was married to Rajyavati, the daughter of king Harshadeva of Gauda.[2][3]

Subsequent history of Nepal

The historical records after the period of Jayadeva II are extremely unclear. Nepal, thereafter, enters into a dark period which continued until around 1200 C.E. after which the Malla dynasty started its reign.[3]
