yeah, it does make sense. there is a very good book on thsi context at teh Kaiser Library (well all Rana and Shah information there are exaggerated but hey, its a source).. i think it is called history of nepal, and it is a very old book at the history section of the library, written about 1965 or so by Pandin ??? (read it a long time ago, so don't really recall teh name or wrtier)... it has 28th ascendant- rajajee rajiv rao, of Kulmandan Shah Khan , to be a ruler of a small principality in north west India. But the same book, also recalls that an ascendant of Jang Bahadur was also a ruler. In indian sub continent the hindus wrote rao, rana, rawal, singh etc as title of the ruler where muslims wrote nawab, sultan etc. Also, the story of King Drabya winning the Liglig racing game.. other historians say that Drabya Shah was infact running but not for race, but to kill the reigning king and he was the first to slain him, so eventually (still) winning the race.
