Lallat Shah succeeded Pradip Shah in 1772 (AH 1186); he, in turn was succeeded by Jayakrit Shah in 1781 (AH 1196). In 1785, Jayakrit attacked Kumaon, where his brother, Parduman, was ruling. The latters army repulsed the attack; Jayakrit died during the retreat and the Kumaon troops took possession of Śrinagar. As a result, Parduman became ruler of both Kumaon and Garhwal and, in due course, took up residence in Śrinagar
