             The Pandukeshwar (near Badrinath, Chamoli Garhwal) )and Bageshwar Inscriptions by Lalitshur and Bhudev provide detail about Nimbar or Nimbart family Kingdom.

                              Nimbar and his successor Katyuri Kings

              The Lalitshur copper inscription describes that Nimbar conquered the kingdom by blessing from Shiva (Dhujjarti). That suggests that Nimbar might have battled and displaced either Tribhuvanraj Katyuri or his successor from the crown.  

    Lalitshur the grandson of Nimbar praised Nimbar as kind, donor, truthful, humble, pure or clean, energetic, serious, disciplined, and believer on customs.

             Nimbar (Shrimimbar) was devotee of Nanda Bhagwati and was prosperous.

                                Queen of Nimbar Katyuri King

           The name of wife of Nimbar Katyuri king was Nathudevi or Nashudevi.

                                       Arrival of Shankaracharya

  

 It is believed that Shankaracharya expired in Kedarnath in 788. It might be possible that Shankaracharya might have arrived in the time of Nimbar or his son Ishtangandev.
