              Ishtgandev was son of Nimbar.

                In Lalitshur inscription his title is Parambhattarak Maharajdhiraj Parmeshwar. The title shows that he was wise to take benefits of infighting among kings of Central India.

          He is called devotee of Brahman. The appreciating adjective for Ishtgandev shows that by now, Brahmins got very much importance in the society and politics of Uttarakhand.

 In Lalitshur inscription, his queen name is Vegdevi and in Bhudev inscription his queen’s name is Dharadevi.

           The inscriptions suggest that he broke the heads of elephants. That means a king from plains or army chief of king Nagbhatt attacked on Katyuri kingdom and Ishtgandev participated in the battle and won the battle.
