रणजीत मल्लEnglishनेपालीOverview
Ranajita Malla (Newar: 𑐬𑐞𑐖𑐶𑐟 𑐩𑐮𑑂𑐮) was the last king of the Malla dynasty who ruled Bhaktapur from 1722 to 1769. He is widely known for his contribution to Newari and Maithili literature, in particular his plays are generally praised by modern scholars. He has been generally described as a peace loving, simple and pious monarch who allowed his citizens to advise and criticize him. However, his reign was characterized by constant disputes with Kantipur and Gorkha. He is also known for the crisis of succession during his reign when he favored his concubine's issue over his queen consort's, who was more generally liked, which caused a lot of mutiny in the kingdom especially in cities like Thimi and Banepa.

रणजीत मल्ल, भक्तपुरका अन्तिम राजा थिए। उनका छोरा वीर नरसिंह, पृथ्वी नारायण शाहका मित रहेका थिए। उनकै पालामा पृथ्वीनारायण शाहले भक्तपुरमा कब्जा जमाएका थिए । उपत्यकाकै सबैभन्दा शक्तिशाली र वैभवशाली राज्य हातमा लिएपछि नै गोरखाली राजाको उपत्यका विजययात्रा टुंगिएको थियो। [विकिपिडिया]
