=== Licchavi dynasty ===
{{main|Licchavi (kingdom)}}
The kings of the [[Licchavi (kingdom)|Lichhavi dynasty]] (originally from [[Vaishali (ancient city)|Vaishali]] in modern-day India) ruled what is the Kathmandu valley in modern-day Nepal after the Kirats. It is mentioned in some genealogies and Puranas that the "Suryavansi Kshetriyas had established a new regime by defeating the Kirats". The ''Pashupati Purana'' mentions that "the masters of Vaishali established their own regime by confiding Kiratis with sweet words and defeating them in war". Similar contexts can be found in ''Himbatkhanda'', which also mentions that "the masters of Vaishali had started ruling in Nepal by defeating Kirats". Different genealogies state different names of the last Kirati king. According to the Gopal genealogy, the Lichhavis established their rule in Nepal by defeating the last Kirati King 'Khigu', 'Galiz' according to the language-genealogy and 'Gasti' according to Wright genealogy.<ref name="renamed_from_0_on_20220321144102" />
