The first recorded king of Nepal was King Elam, also referenced as Yalambar. According to legend, it is said that Yalambar had the honor of being slain in the battle of Mahabharata, in which the gods and mortals fought side by side.
Yalambar is thought to have visited the battlefield with the intention of join the losing side. However Lord Krishna, the lord of heaven, felt that if Yalambar were to join the battle, the battle would last much longer. Because of this, Lord Krishna beheaded King Yalambar before he could reach the battle front.
