 The supporters of King Pradyumna Shah were frustrated by cowardly behavior of the King by not heading on with his brother Parakrama Shah and the king sitting idle in the palace. The sitting in the place idle by Pradyumna Shah was unwanted for any King. It was time for Pradyumna to show his guts and velour for protecting his Kingdom.
 The supporters sent message to the prince Sudarshan Shah for being very attentive for the acts of Parakrama Shah. They suggested prince Sudarshan Shah  to come out of the palace . They assured Sudarshan Shah that they would oust Parakrama Shah and Sudarshan Shah would take the charge of the Kingdom. (Ganika Natak)
 Sudarshan Shah was already annoyed by deceptive and uncustomary acts by his uncle Parakrama Shah.  Sudarshan Shah decided to fight with his uncle with help of supporters waiting for him outside the palace. Sudarshan Shah decided for freeing the Kingdom from Parakrama Shah. One day, Sudarshan Shah escaped from the palace without knowledge to his enemies. Sudarshan Shah reached to the house of Ramapati Khanduri. (Ganika Natak)
   When Parakraa knew that Sudarshan Shah escaped the palace, he shouted on Pradyumna Shah. Parakrama accused Pradyumna Shah for conspiracy. (Dabral)

     Soldiers of Sudarshan Shah surrounded Parakrama force and defeated them. The crowd was now after Parakrama and was eager to enter the staying place of Parakrama Shah.  Parakrama Shah understood his bad luck. Parakrama ran to the King. Parakrama requested Pradyumna Shah for stopping the crowd and pardon him (Ganika Natak page 390) . Parakrama assured the King for proper behavior in future.
          Pradyumna Shah was a simple person and he pardoned Parakrama Shah. Pradyumna Shah called his supporting ministers and called for ending the battle against Parakrama Shah.

   Parakrama Shah was sure that the King surrounded by his army could not act against Parakrama.  Parakrama was conscious that by killing the King Pradyumna the subject would oppose him. Therefore, Parakrama Shah decided for Kingdom division. Parakrama was waiting for becoming King for many years. Parakrama said to the King that he would take the land of right of Alaknanda from Badrinath to Haridwar and Pradyumna would take left of Alaknanda River.  Pradyumna tried his best to make Parakrama understand. Parakrama was more powerful as Pradyumna was surrounded by armed force of Parakrama. The last post of Garhwal Kingdom touching Haridwar was near Bhimgaura.
    Parakrama declared him the King.
      Parakrama called meeting of his supporters in night . Shishram, Shivram, Radha Guru, Chitramani and Shrivilas attended the meet. Parakrama ordered his would be ministers for making division papers for both the kingdoms. It was decided that tParakrma woul take tribute for Rs. 25 from each Thatwan. Ministers made the list of soldiers for collection the tributes. The order papers for each Thatwan was prepared too.

 Parakrama Shah understood that then, Nepal wanted Pradyumna the King after hearing the letter of Nepal Vakil or ambassador . Parakrama shouted on Vakil and angrily said, “Are you warning me ?  If you head on with me , your kingdom would not be in Kurmachal too. If you have guts then you attack on my army. I did not make captive the king but ministers ousted we both.”
 The Nepal ambassador said that in that condition, Pradyumna Shah would be the King but Parakrama would control the council of ministers.  Ambassadors reached to the King wit Parakrama. Nepal ambassador made agreement between the two. The King said to Parakrama that if he obeyed him, Parakrama would be the controller of council of ministers. There was Dharma Pratigya from both the sides.
 Ambassador came to Shrinagar from Ranihat and informed the details of accord between Pradyumna Shah and Parakrama Shah. Ministers told to the ambassador that they would not follow till Parakrama sign on the agreement (Dharma Patra).  The ambassador returned to Ranihat and got agreement letter from Parakrama Shah and showed to the ministers. Then, ministers and ambassador reached to Parakrama Shah
 The ministers advised the prince Sudarshan Shah for staying in Shrinagar with army.
    The ministers reached Ranihat where Pradyumna Shah and Parakrama were together. Ministers bowed before the King. The minsters paid tribute to the king for five Asharfi and 4 to Parakrama.  Pradyumna Shah asked Parakrama for the staying place for the ministers. First, Parakrama told to stay in the mango garden at Ranihat. However, immediately Parakrama changed his mind and asked the ministers for going back to Shrinagar.
 Next day, Parakrama and Pradyumna reached to Shrinagar.  Both the parties agreed for following the accord.
 The army supporters of King retuned back from Shrinagar. After some time, the supporters of Parakrama stated surrounding by force the houses of supporters of the King.Then, the supporters of the King became worried about the activities of Parakrama.   
 Dr.  Dabral illustrated the above descriptions based on Ganika Natak by Maularam. Maulaam was the court artist and mint man too. Maularam was opponent of Parakrama too.  All the above description is one sided and create sympathy for Pradyumna Shah and create Parakrama as villain. No historian has the description of side of Parakrama Shah. The above description clearly showed that Pradyumna was a weak administrator.
