Life
Harshadeva succeeded Vamadeva in around {{Circa|1085}}. Similar to his predecessor, he did not assume full royal titles. The reason for this is not clear with some authors hinting at a suzerainty of Nepal to a foreign kingdom.{{Sfn|Petech|1984|p=50}}
The reign of Harshadeva was filled with distress and internal conflicts. Local lords of his kingdom constantly fought with each other and tried to proclaim themself as the king.{{Sfn|Regmi|1971|p=207}}{{Sfn|Shaha|1990|p=36}} The feudatories continued to exercise more control than the monarch even after Harshadeva's death for more than ten years.{{Sfn|Regmi|1965|p=143–144}}
Harshadeva was succeeded by Simhadeva after his death in 1098.{{Sfn|Petech|1984|p=51}}
