Punya Malla

Punya Malla, attested from 1336 to 1339, was a king of the Khasa Malla kingdom in the western Himalayas. Born Punya Pal, a chief of the Khas house of Purang in Tibet, he married a daughter of King Aditya Malla.

When the Nagaraja dynasty had no heir, he was called to the throne at Sinja and exchanged the title Pal for Malla. His inscriptions stress his double descent. He was succeeded by his son Prithvi Malla.
