| Additional information |
Narendradeva's reign marked a decisive shift in Licchavi political orientation — he was restored to the Nepalese throne around 643 AD with the direct military backing of the Tibetan emperor Songtsen Gampo, having been displaced by a rival faction. That debt to Tibet reoriented Licchavi foreign policy away from the Gangetic plain and toward the Himalayan corridor for a generation. These copper units circulated in a kingdom that was simultaneously a tributary buffer and an active trading node between the Gupta-successor states to the south and the newly consolidated Tibetan empire to the north.
